He wanted it to be perfect.

The art teacher came to him and asked, "Billy, what are you drawing?" Billy looked at his teacher and with a big smile and the sound of great joy in his voice he declared, "I'm drawing a picture of God." The art teacher looked at him and said, "But, Billy, no one knows what God looks like."
