I love that song, “Puff The Magic Dragon.” Then, I learned what it was really about. Still love it.

Great drawing! I am looking forward to drawing on a tablet or on my ipad but I can’t yet find a stylus that suits me. I have been looking in the shops for a while.
I also don’t have a tablet. I need to do a bit more research to find a tablet.

I did it on an ipad in Artrage using a cheap stylus. It takes some getting used to. Some apps don’t pick up the stylus at all.
