‘Odosketch seeks to recreate the decidedly non-digital experience of working with a sketchbook. Its papery textures, variety of brushes and intentional imperfections make you forget you’re working on a screen.’

Odosketch is a digital canvas application that uses flash, created by the San Fransico based digital marketing company Odopod. You can use Odosketch to create your own digital artwork, browse some of the amazing featured sketches, or see the most recent sketches added to the gallery. The playback feature replays the artist at work, so you can see exactly how they created their sketch – from blank canvas to finished product. There is definitely something quite addictive about watching the images come to life; the ability to see their techniques, methods and mistakes gives you an insight into the personality of the artist without ever actually meeting them. Although you cannot currently download the final image, you can copy the HTML code and embed the images into your website if you wish. However, the site is still being developed as its community of users keeps expanding, so keep an eye out for new features. Odosketch is a fun and quirky creative application, allowing you to sketch to your heart’s content… without ever having the worry of splashing paint on the carpet!
