Sketchpad 1.0
UPDATE: Read about Sketchpad 3.0
Sketchpad is a free application utilizing <canvas> to allow anyone with a web-connection and a recent copy of Safari, Firefox, Opera, or Chrome the ability to create beautiful drawings.
Sketchpad includes a number of Drawing Tools, including: Text, Shape, Spirograph, Brush, Calligraphy, Pencil, Paint-Bucket, and Stamp. These tools can be used together with the provided database of Colors, Gradients, and Patterns, or you can create you own custom styles by clicking on the “COLOR”, “GRADIENT”, or “PATTERN” tabs on the top-bar. Sketchpad also includes a few generic Drawing Utilities, including: Marquee, Crop, Eraser, and a HSL/RGBA Color-Picker. Be sure to click on “LIGHT” mode on the top-bar for extra fun.
Feel free to add your Sketchpad drawings to our Flickr group, we’d love to see them!
