Yup, I do have the first version on my 'puter, at a higher resolution too.  I can always redraw it if I wish anyway, though it wouldn't be the same.

I know it's not the same in the computer, it's not really real! and it's not at all interesting or motivating to draw something again. It's special the first time it's created

You're right on both counts, though drawing it again wouldn't be a problem; it wouldn't be exactly the same of course, but .... that's ok.

The little circles didn't take as long as you think, though I did take a break half way through as my fingers and wrists were cramping!  I think I've been doing too much art lately and the touch of arthritis in my joints is playing up ....

I can understand the arthritis thing all too well, I also have tremors so sometimes it is very difficult to do much detailed stuff.  Makes making jewelry REALLY hard.  Too bad people don't pay for effort and time, which is why I don't sell much, everyone wants to pay cheaply for expensive materials and hard work.  I do my doodles and art when I am overly frustrated with trying to make jewelry or don't feel well enough to do much else, which is way more often that I would like.

I know that one.  It's hard to find the right market at the right price, and it's hard for people who want what you have to offer at the price you wish to sell it for amongst all those who are also selling their wares.  Etsy is so full, as are other places like it ... but don't give up, and think positively about it.  I'm a great beleiver in sending your intention out into the universe with a deadline on it, and things have a habit of washing up.  I had plans to approach publishers of adult colouring books over my summer holidays; the day before the holidays started I had an offer to provide the artwork for two books about the therapeutic value of colouring being written by an art therapist!  So not just a colouring book, but so much more...

I'm lucky I don't get tremors, but the aches sometimes and stiffness if I've overdone things can make things a little difficult, though I'm usually not too bad as long as I'm not too stressed/anxious at the same time....and I only have a very very slight case of arthritis (though my weight makes it worse in my toes/feet/knees and one hip, and you'd think that would get me reducing my weight wouldn't you?)

I have an Etsy and a Storenvy shop.  I advertise (so to speak) more for my Storenvy, at first it was because of the options it gives you in the design, now I am seeing Etsy is getting a little better with their design.  LOL  The book deal sounds awesome!!! I used art as therapy (still do) to recover and deal with life after brain surgery.  I wanted to be a part of rehabilitation thru art therapy, but found you have to have all sorts of college and degrees to do so.  bleh.  And I think all adults should own and use a coloring book, would reduce a large amount of stress!     

My health is horrible these days, was great until they decided that hey... we found a tumor and you must have it removed ... sorry about the consequences.  Ugh.  My tremors are from medications as well as the after effects of partial seizures.  Some days are much worse than others.
