Oekaki Boards (or Doodle Boards) are a great way to draw and share original and fan arts. They've been around for years but have pretty much only caught on amongst Anime Fans. The programs themselves are usually pretty simple but if you know what you are doing you can as far as creating photo realistic work.

Personally I use it to sketch down new ideas. It's quick easy and fun. After being hard core into Oekaki Boards for about three years, I've just recently got one of my own. It's a page hosted at http://www.oekakiart.com/.

Anything Goes Oekaki





Join the site by signing up to Oekakiart.com. You can then draw and comment on nearly every Oekaki Board they host. If you are already skilled in Oekaki you can even get your own page. I've been to just about every Oekaki community there is and this one is one of the best. Lots of very nice people.

If a small new site isn't your taste there are a multatude of options. The easiest way to start your journey is to just google Oekaki and find one that best fits your tastes and skill level. I'd also recommend checking out some Japanese boards, as they can be loaded with some neat ideas and artists.

Here's a little treasure I found on a 2Chan board.



So no matter where you go..... Oekaki's are awsome fun. So go find one and start drawing!
