Here’s an unusual blog. It’s called The Fastest Drawings of Everything. The owners (artists) of the blog draws stuff, one thing at a time. They draw each…uhh.. drawing the fastest way possible. You might think that it’s weird, but hey, it makes you think if you can draw them faster just by looking at them. Check out some of the drawings below.

Accident Sketch is a tool that will help you easily draw a sketch of your vehicular accident. You can use the tool to visually recreate the moment when the accident happened. It will help you give a better description of the accident that you can use for insurance claims and other reports.
Using the sketch tool is as easy as dragging the elements to the boxes on the virtual canvass. You can place cars, roads, street corners, stop lights and other elements and drawing tools that you will require in order to recreate the accident scene. You can also place license plate numbers of the cars involved in the accident. Adjust the digital canvass’ size to further add details to your sketch.
Drag your own vehicle from the upper left into the drawing area by using the left mouse button. You can drag the other party’s vehicle from the upper right into the sketch. Rotate the vehicle by holding down the right mouse button. All further drawing objects can be dragged, moved and rotated in the same way as the vehicles.
This is a tool that you’ll hope that you wouldn’t have to use. But under such circumstances it may come in handy especially when it is required of you to present a detailed visualization of the accident. You don’t have to use the tool only on your own accident. You can also use it to help out a friend recreate the scene for whatever purpose it may serve.

TwitDraw is a tool that allows you to make an online graffiti and post it on Twitter. If you’re tired of posting photos, links and tweets on Twitter, this might spice things up for you. The service is created by the same Graffiti guys that made the Facebook app.
The app is pretty simple and easy to use. You’ll be given a simple brush to work with. You can edit the width, color and opacity of the brush which is pretty much all there is to it. There’s no special editing and effects tool for you to worry about. Just start drawing and creating the effect you need by adjusting the opacity of your brush and combining the colors. There’s an undo button for small mistakes and a start over button for huge mistakes.
When done with your graffiti, you can easily send it as a Twitter update. You can add a 100 character long message along with your Graffiti. The other 40 characters will be taken by the Twitdraw link to your graffiti page. People can thumb up or thumb down the submitted graffiti or they can double thumb up them which automatically gives it a thumb-up rating plus a retweet.

RateMyAnimations is a community powered site where you can create animations and share them anywhere. If you’re familiar with Rate My Drawings, a really cool drawing community with a great online drawing tool and a rocking share widget that displays an animation of the drawing being created right from where the artist made the first stroke. RateMyAnimations is a sister site of RateMyDrawings as you might already have guessed.
Additional features for video editing are added to the RateMyAnimation’s editor. The animation tool is basically a tweaked version of the drawing tool found in RateMyDrawings. Since the site is a community for artists, the animation editor does not let you upload pre existing images. You must create your animation from scratch by drawing. It would be nice though if they would allow you to upload or integrate your work from RateMyDrawings. This will give RMD artists to experiment with animation using their previous creations without having to draw them all over again. Anyway, the animation editor is still on beta so there should be more features coming soon.

ColorPX is a simple online tool that you can use to create drawings one pixel at a time. The only thing that you need is a little imagination and a bit of creativity. No need to sign up or register for an account. You can start creating your pixel art as soon as you land on the website.
Basically, you are given a pixel drawing board. You can choose the size of your drawing area by selecting the number of pixels you want on your board (1024, 512, 256). Just select your color and start clicking on the grid. You can expand or reduce the grid without deleting your current work. To delete a pixel just select the color #FFFFFF (white) and apply it on the pixel you want erase. You can of course download your creations after you’re done. You can use them for avatars, logos or just look at them and be proud.
ColorPX also has a sharing page where users can submit their creations and others can vote on them. Looking at the submissions reminds me of the good old pixelated days. Check some of the pixel drawings below. Have fun.

Doink is a place where you can make drawings online and create animation out of them. It can be like one of those paper animations with stick figures or a really cool animation of whatever you can think of. Doink is about having fun and exploring your creativity. Whether you just want to draw or create an animation out of those drawings.
The editor is very easy to use and will not require any expertise like Photoshop. Just click a button to test and see what it does. Once you get comfortable using it, you’ll have no problem at all making your first drawing. That first drawing is the first step for you in creating an animation. Just add another frame and you’re off. I find editing with frames very easy. Once you create a new frame, it will appear in such a way, that as if you’re like placing a translucent paper on top of your previous frame. It’s pretty much like how animators work which is very cool. This way, you can trace the drawing on the previous frame so you can easily make the next action of your animation.
Another cool feature of Doink is the collaboration feature. Aside from sharing your work with other members, you can also use their community art search tool to find drawings or animations made by others. You can then grab those creations and use them in yours.
Doink is a fun way to draw, create avatars and funny animations. The best part is that you get to create your own and share them with others.
