Before anything else, apologies for neglecting mylot. Been busy updating books because... (the due date for taxes is looming ). But this morning, the computer decided to update and, as of this writing, it is still only at 25% so... (and I've also already done a bit of laundry since it started, meaning it's taking that long so...) might as well come here while waiting. Anyway, another thing that's occupying me lately is trying to find a drawing app or site to use. Mind you, I don't know how to draw. I have difficulty drawing a stick figure. (Case in point: does the attached drawing look anything like Toothless? ) So you might wonder why on Earth am I looking for a drawing app. Well... I make no promises that any drawings I make will be any good. But who knows, maybe I'll improve with practice? Are you any good at drawing? Ugly image: - (Supposedly) Toothless (the dragon), drawn by me using Simple Draw app

@moirai Ha ha. I think my daughter agree that it is a cow (glad I have some candies) but not my wife.

@simplfred Ah! But agreement by bribery only gives you half a point.

I did some drawings before and I can't do that anymore now because of my hands, sometimes it hurts when I do the writing.

@JustBhem Ah, nice. That's actually what I was looking for - something to use for drawing on devices, not actual pen and paper. :P But I'm looking for something for the phone, as my computer time is very limited at the moment. Aside from Simple Draw that I used above, I also downloaded Sketch (by Sony). It looks good. :) Though, for my current... ehm, skill level, Simple Draw might suffice. Hahaha.

Ah, I see. That's sad. :( Do your hands always hurt? Or can you still draw little by little? Or maybe there are other techniques that can work for you...?

@moirai I think I can draw through my laptop's application. You know the Paint?

I am sure you'll improve with practice. That totally looked like a dragon though, so congrats

I can do some simple cartoons by drawing. I wish I can have the gift though.

If you can do better than my... eh... squiggles above , then you have A gift. Might not exactly be THE gift that you meant, but A gift nonetheless that most likely can be improved and developed.

Sorry. It does not look a bit toothless. You know I am a fan of the dragons.

Hehehehe. Well, like I said, I don't know how to draw. But... not a bit? Not even with a little imagination (I mean, a LOT!)? Hehehehe. Does it look more like an angry bunny? With wings?

I am good at copying the drawings. When it comes to sketching, especially faces.. I mess things up then..

Ah, but if you can copy drawings then that must mean you can draw and is quite good at it. I expect faces are harder, huh? Hmm... this reminds me that we have a book on drawing somewhere... never really got into reading that through. Maybe I'll look for it one of these days...

But wait... if you're good at copying (copying drawings, I suppose?), then that means you do know how to draw, right?
