Oekaki Internet Forum
Oekaki internet forum systems on the Internet allow artists draw pictures with a drawing program stored on a server and post their drawings on the internet forum. Artists do not upload their images on Oekaki internet forum systems; they draw pictures inside web browsers with a computer mouse, a graphics tablet, or a touch screen.

The underlying computer technology used in Oekaki can be a Java applet or ActiveX. Some Oekaki systems offer enough features to create professional-looking images. The resulting picture is usually in dimensions of a few hundred pixels wide or long. The most popular applets used on English internet forums are OekakiBBS, PaintBBS, and Shipainter.

If the internet forum and the program applet are both equipped for it, the artist can choose to use an animation feature which allows the internet forum users to watch a stroke-by-stroke animation of the image being drawn. Some Oekaki internet forums also have a Continue feature, which allows the artist to save the image to the internet forum and continue work on it later. Some implementations of Continue retain image layers only when an image is saved as an animation.

There are a remarkable number of Oekaki message boards, Oekaki Central being one of the largest. People can create their own Oekaki board at sites such as myKaki.org or OekakiBBS.com, though the latter is often hard to use for non-Japanese-speakers because much of it is in Japanese or poorly translated English.

Examples of Oekaki applets OekakiBBS was developed by OekakiBBS. It was the original Oekaki applet and has smaller palettes and fewer screentones. It includes more productive color blending, multiple layer support, masks, and animation saving. Unfortunately this applet is becoming outdated, as it is only compatible with Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, and not Sun's. Screentone is a generic name for a technical drawing technique for applying various textures to surfaces from a specially preprinted sheet. ...

Shi-Painter and Shi-Painter Pro, Shi-chan's latest applets, are becoming more popular but they have yet to become common on English Oekaki boards due to outdated BBS software.
There are other Oekaki applets, such as PictureBBS and BBSPainter, but they are far less common. Lascaux Sketch, the featured applet on 2draw is not publicly distributed but is perhaps the most powerful Oekaki applet around. Oekaki Poteto was an important oekaki script but its development has been stopped. A new script based on that one is Wacintaki Poteto allowing to convert old Oekaki Poteto boards and continues being developed. A flash based Oekaki board is imageboard.
