While I was on Twitter, someone sent TwitPaint & TwitDraw links my way. These are basically online graffiti wall drawing applications that you can post directly to your Twitter account. It was the best kick in the butt for playing with my Wacom drawing tablet! It's good fun and you might get addicted to it.
TwitPaint
This is a pretty simple application. You are given an variety of colors to use. You can set colors from transparent to opaque. You can also determine the broadness of your lines. You are given ample drawing space to work from.
The only stipulation with this application is the limitation of 140 drawing strokes (like Twitter tweets are limited to 140 characters).
You are only allowed to Undo or Start Over there is (no redo). If your Wacom has express keys set to go back a page, make sure you turn it off or you might end up losing your drawing! (I am speaking from experience!)
My stuff :
NOTE: As I double checked TwitPaint, I realized there was a link called TwitShot. This application allows you to take a stationary or moving picture with your webcam. You can use "gray", "sepia" or "pop" to change the coloring of your picture. I didn't play with this application since I am more into the drawing aspect of TwitPaint.
TwitDraw
The drawing tools available are pretty much the same. The only differences are that there is no limitation on drawing strokes, the canvas drawing space is wider, and it can replay back your drawing strokes (that you can set from slow to fast) so people can see how you created your picture!
This was the selling point for this application for me. I have been trying to find the right software to record my digital drawing that would not impact the drawing software I was using. For now, this seems to be a good solution.
My stuff:
At this time, I think I prefer TwitDraw over TwitPaint because of the playback mode. However, if I wanted to challenge myself with limited drawing strokes I would go for TwitPaint.
Just remember this is considered a "graffiti" application so anyone can make alterations to your drawing without impacting your original drawing.
