How to Draw With Oekaki

Oekaki, the Japanese word for "doodle or scribble" and the act of drawing, describes various Java applets that allow Internet users to draw images within a browser and post and save them online. Drawing with Oekaki is extremely easy as long as your computer is set up correctly for viewing these applets and you follow all online drawing board or community rules.

Instructions

    • 1

      Verify that your computer Internet options allow you to view ActiveX and Java applets. In your Internet web browser, go to "Tools," click on "Internet Options," click the "Security" tab, click on the "Custom Level" button, and scroll down verifying that your ActiveX controls and plugins and Active Scripting are set to "Enable" or "Prompt." Verify whether you can view Java by going to the Java website to check your system or download Java for free.

      Review various Oekaki online drawing board or drawing board community websites, such as ArtCluster, Hakumei or Oekaki Central, and read thoroughly all instructions, rules or website FAQ. When choosing a website, consider the availability of single artist boards, the option for artist collaboration or contest participation, drawing skill level of the board, availability of applets and any content restrictions.

    • 3

      Practice drawing online with each of the Oekaki applet(s): Oekaki BBS, ShiPainter or ShiBBS Paint BBS before settling on a board or community for your first online drawing endeavor. Familiarize yourself with the Oekaki buttons, labels and with drawing in a virtual environment using your mouse or tablet computer and pen instead of pencil(s) and paper.
