Odosketch

Are you ready to fall in love and burn hours on a single website? Yes? Oh goody (rubbing my hands together) because I have a real treat for you. It’s a special place called Odosketch where you can sketch with little colorful virtual pencils and play, play, play! There are so many talented illustrators who draw the sweetest things there and then they save them (you can save yours too!) and some make it to the front page as a featured sketch. Here are a few that made it to their homepage

Odosketch

I love that when you are on the site and click on a drawing that you like, a new window opens showing you the drawing from start to finish so you can see exactly how the artist composed the piece, even when they erased certain bits. So inspiring!

When I have some free time later this week I plan to give this a try… This looks like fun!

    When I taught 1st grade in the US, we had a similar program. It was awesome! We’d have the children each write one sentence or two for whatever subj, holiday, etc. Then they would oodle a pic for their sentences. We made classroom books out of them.

    Wow this site is awesome. I love the muted colors, it is so inviting to linger and play with them. I think the watercolor feel of the colors and strokes is a huge part of what is going to suck hours from my life from now on. That and sheer amazement at others’ control and ability to make fine details. I’m in awe. Great find Holly!
