"Doozla is the easy-to-use drawing application for children - it is what your kids have always wanted!"
Here is a link to nice little "Play to Learn" painting program for children that looks quite interesting. It might be worth downloading and playing with I think :)

Also, for a little history on computer aided drawing, here is a link to a YouTube video on Sketchpad by Dr. Ivan Sutherland. I'm not sure exactly when the video of the sketching program was made, but it could be as far back as the early 60s.
I would like to thank Daniel Dugas for bringing these links to my attention.

I was able to download a trial version of Doozla to see how it works and what features are offered.
The good news, I had a lot of fun playing with the different tools. Especially the pen tool, the unique thing about the pen was that the initial draw (before you release the mouse button) is very pixelated and as soon as the button is realeased the curve/line/shape is redrawn to fit. I liked this feature when drawing a curve, it allowed for the width of the line to be fluid and exactly as I would expect if I were to use a marker to draw.
I have thought about how I can incorporate (or if it is even possible to) this feature into the simple drawing program I have created and think that a comparision of the last x and y mouse position to the current mouse x and y could possibly affect the width of the line. I am going to do a little testing with this theory and then post a video of my simple drawing program. So be on the lookout!
