Drawing Toys

Collection of period-correct cursor trails — rainbows, bubbles, snowflakes, ghosts — demoed live so you can wave the mouse about.

Eleven absurd brushes — blobs, tentacles, exploding dots — that make the composition decisions for you the moment you move.

Google's stripped-back sketchpad — pencil, pen, marker, chalk — with pressure support and absolutely no other features.

Move the mouse and flowers, mushrooms and grass sprout underneath it while a music box plays. No tools, no undo, no point.

Paint with thick wet oils that pile up, smear and catch the light exactly like the real thing, entirely in a browser tab.

Mr Doob's sketching toy, where strokes web themselves together with connecting threads and turn scribbles into shading.

Painting app with layers, symmetry and a genuinely good brush engine, loading instantly and uploading nothing anywhere.

Start with one enormous dot; every pass of the cursor splits it into four, until the pixels resolve into a picture.

Kaleidoscopic drawing surface with adjustable mirror counts, so one wobbly line comes back as a symmetrical mandala.

Full paint program in a tab — brushes, layers, filters and a stamp library — with nothing to install and nothing to pay.

A quick whiteboard in the browser: sketch boxes, arrows and doodles, share a link and draw together in real time without making an account.
