Quick illustration I did from the Hans Christian Andersen tale 'The Nightengale' (or it might be called 'The Emperor's Nightengale' or something else like that.) It's a sweet story and I liked that the emperor's robe came out so well, though there probably could be much more detail on it. And I winged the hat. If you get a chance, check out the Fairy Tale Theater version of this story done in the '80s; Mick Jagger plays the Emperor and Edward James Olmos is his chief councilor. (Yes, it's that awesome.)
