Draw, Sketch, Paint, and Share Online

Have some visual fun with this collection of virtual art websites. (Don't let the boss catch you!) Some make geometric shapes and others have drawing and sketching tools or shared artwork.

For all you visual and artistic types, this is a really awesome tribute to Jackson Pollock - and it's an incredibly addictive time killer. Paint like Jackson Pollock (well, sort of) right on your computer screen.

This one where you try to make the most accurate angles is kind of nerdy, but we enjoyed it. The eyeball test allows you to visually guess the location of the center point of various geometric shapes. None of us were nearly as good at this as we had hoped. Maybe you will do better. This game will make you more in love with your measuring tools than before, since you use your eye only (no rulers, t-squares, compasses or other tools).

Another one for those easily addicted to stay away from: the Virtual Sand Art site. At this website you can click on the screen to have sand appear. Hold your mouse button down to make lots of sand fall.  You have to use some basic keyboard commands to do things like change colors. (C - changes color, E - erases your drawing, M - mutes the sound, etc.) Think you are good? Go check out the gallery to see some awesome examples.

Check out this online drawing place called Noughts - the artwork appears to be created while you watch:

At Odopod you can make beautiful online sketches. They are redesigning the site, so for now look at their blog:

Click on the image below to go to a webiste wher eyou can make a virtual snowflake in a still image or 2D and 3D, this is really neat!

This is the scribbler - draw a simple scribble and save it. Check out the gallery!

This is awesome! On this site, Mikons, there are clip art shapes you can use and then change the colors. And there are drawing tools, too. There is an entire community at Mikons to share your artwork with.

So, try not to spend too much time playing with these websites (we know we did!)
