Patrick said that the pen drawing took him arduous work of three months before he could complete it. He, therefore, pleaded with tweeps to help him retweet his work so that it can gain more visibility online.
Many admired his strong sense of determination of working on a single piece for months. Others just wondered and asked how he was able to pull such an amazing job with just a pen.
