Drawn from a random model on Instagram.
I redrew this old drawing in pen and ink and colored pencil as a digital art piece.
Drawn from an old scrapbook picture of a catalog swimsuit model.

Catch a Falling Star 
I must check out this digital art. I hope it’s not beyond my limited ability.
It takes a long time to learn all the tools and how they work. And you have to have a touch screen and a stylus. But once you know how, it gave me back a lot of pencil control that I was losing to arthritis.
Well that tech is beyond budget. The gimp program I used to refine , color and finish my drawings is no longer available and there’s nothing that compares for replacement. Seems 12 years of cartoon blogging is now ending.
I sympathize. My daughter helped me get the Krita program for my Chromebook for free. Then my Chromebook with the touch screen broke down. Drawing on paper is harder and harder due to arthritis. But using the stylus I got for the Chromebook on my phone, I was able to continue using a digital art program that cost me $250. It lets me continue drawing, but for how much longer?
For as long as you can. And then some more…
I know you can’t draw any longer due to limited mobility, but your original drawings, to me, have much more life to them. And I have a tough time with how it turns all the faces to Asian anime faces. Native Indians with Asian faces just don’t look correct. lol!
I agree with you, but I am grateful these digital and AI tools came along when they did. It allows me to continue drawing instead of giving up. I choose the anime filter of the comic book style because that looks further away from my original. And at times I can edit the anime to almost photo realism.
