Eikou Drawing Pad

Aside from using coloured pens and pencils, I also use this drawing pad for my drawings. I would like to share this great software with you.

Eikou Drawing Pad was developed primarily for babies under five years old, to learn drawing and coloring on the computer screen. It is fun for children to experience different shapes and colors.

If you install the Big Mouth software, it already includes the Eikou Drawing Pad. Alternatively, if you don't like the robot chatter box, you can download this quiet program as a separate software.

There are three kinds of thickness pens. You may select one of them by simply clicking either the big pen button to use a really thick pencil, the mid pen button to use a normal pencil, or the small pen button to use a pencil with thin strokes. After choosing which pencil you want to use, you may draw again.

 

What is the face button for?

Click the face button on the right side to put a smiley face in your drawing. You can move it around dragging it on your drawing pad.
