I know your supposed to draw stuff, but I don't really know much about them...Can a tablet be used with them in any way?

Also, could some one recomend a good one for me?

The two oekaki boards I know are:

http://www.oekakicentral.com/fp/fp1/index2.php
http://www.frogbog.com/oekaki/

It's where you mainly draw using a simple program within the web that tracks what strokes you've used and how long you've taken to draw. You get to view the works of other artists too and see how they got their work done (like did they colour what first or draw what first... etc. etc.).

I started drawing when my friend introduced me to oekaki. I got to learn a lot from other people too.

Oh, ok. Sounds cool. Do you have to use a mouse for it?

I use the tablet. =D

I used to use the mouse when I didn't have a tablet. Now I can't remember how to use the mouse. ^^;;;;

I hate drawing with a mouse. And my mouse hates me. I can't wait till I get that new tablet for me birthday! Yay!

Hahaha.... But if you could use the mouse to draw it'll be very cool coz, well, while controlling it isn't always very nice but if you can, you will be able to draw just about anywhere you are XD

Like now, when I'm not home but outside using a public computer with a lot of free time and a sudden burst of artistic inspiration but no tablet to use, it's very hard. (Thank goodness for pencils.) o.o

True that! How do you watch animations? I can't figure that out...
PostPosted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 11:11 pm


First you have to click view (a function at the top part of the page most of the time) and then sort by animations > date or comments. Depending on which one you'd prefer to view by. Some artists don't have animations because they chose not to save their art with animation.

There should be a "view animation" option somewhere around the picture. At frogbog.com (kero kero oekaki) it's usually under the pictures.

And what about Oekaki central?
PostPosted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 11:21 pm


Again, click that big VIEW button at the top left.
This time you'll have to click it first before the other options appear.
Then click on either animation > date or animation > comment.

You'll probably have to be registered to see the animation >.<
