Great work, Igraine. We'd love to be able to do this sort of thing. Which app do you use?

It is a Glo Paint app. All that is needed to make it work right is a capacitive stylus. It is quite fun and absorbing, and best of all, even the simplest drawing can be made to look half-way nice.

Thanks. We're not good with a stylus, but we're glad you enjoy it.

Hi JP. The stylus can be bought at any place that sells stationary or electronics. I buy them at Staples. They are just the ordinary pen like thing with the rubber end. I also have another one that has a plastic disc on the end for more detailed work. All of these writing, drawing, and pointing aids for computer and phone are called capacitive styluses. But, for short, if you just ask to see the computer stylus selection, the employees will be able to direct you to their selection. The basic stylus is not expensive and usually is around or under $20.00. Try to avoid the electronic ones that come with a charger - they are expensive and half the time are not compatible. As they say, use the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Sir). The app I use gives you the ability to enlarge the work area, so detailed work can be done while the picture is blown up and easier to work with, then shrunk down when you are done. I did most of these while laying in bed, so that gives you an idea of how easy it gets once you practice a bit. It is really fun and relaxing. If you don't like your work, you can erase parts of it or all of it and start over. Paper is not so forgiving. I hope this helps answer your question.
