I have always been fascinated by online drawing,especially drawing where many work together on same picture. There have been for many years available tools like OEKAKI and I have had great fun drawing at oekakicentral.com I have also been a member of Deviantart for many years and seen interesting pieces of collaborative projects there. Flickr of course has many collaborative projects but those are mostly in photos not drawings.

Today I discovered new tool via Digg. This tool is the website http://mydrawings.com and it has features that I like both from Devianart and Oekaki. You can draw on the world atlas, you claim one square at a time but you can continue a drawing from ajoining squares or draw your own. I made several squares with blond lady with flower growing on the head. See the screenshot above.

All the doodling right now on mydrawing.com seem unfocused and only fun. But this or similiar tools have potential in education or collaboration, brainstorming through pictures/visual material and creating somekind of collaborative digital patchwork. But for that to work you have to have some rules such as have developed over time in communities like Devianart. And the people participating have to have some skills in expressing themselves with pictures and visuals.
