As a starving artist I have found this quite useful when and idea strikes me. You can get very detailed with a little practice. I used it to sketch an idea for a landscaping quote... Excellent!

Compared with MS-Paint, this is really great. Simple and easy, my kids enjoy this very much.

Great program! It's so simple and easy to use and funny! I really love it! It's so good that if it wasn't freeware I'd even pay for it;)

Easy, qick, and fun. Doodle mashine.For me it is easier to draw with the pen then use the mouse.And after I read the instuctions here again I even discovered one can save the images.Very enjoyable!

Colours didn't show up correctly on my iPaq, and lines were far too faint to see. Otherwise OK, but not really usable for my purposes.

Good program. Would be better if you can change the thickness of the lines that you draw.
