Opens in a new tab. We do not control this site and it may have changed since we catalogued it.
Chrome Canvas sits in Drawing Toys under Make, and we have it filed as coffee break — five to fifteen minutes of proper attention. It reads as useful, cosy and calming.
Generative brushes and cursor instruments. You are not drawing so much as steering something that is already drawing, which removes blank-canvas anxiety entirely.
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.
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.

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