Sketchpad
Sketchpad by Michael Deal uses the canvas element and a lot of JavaScript to create an impressive painting application.
Sketchpad’s drawing tools allow for the usual brush, pencil, fill and text items but it also provides tools for spirographs, unusual shapes and stamps. Applying a pattern to these items is simple, meaning it’s easy to create something artistic even if you’re not particularly artistic yourself.
Not sure if this picture is pretty, or a mess... you decide!
The links along the top right offer more options to improve your image, and once you are happy with your image, you can save it out as a PNG. Give it a try!

If you create anything impressive, why not add it to the Flickr group?

Broken on iPad– any attempt to draw results in dragging the screen around instead. The harmony drawing demo works, so there is probably a way to fix this?
