Oekaki internet forum systems on the Internet allow artists to draw pictures with a drawing program stored on a server and post their drawings on the internet forum. An, or message board, is a Bulletin board system in the form of a discussion site 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. An applet is a software component that runs in the context of another program for example a Web browser. ActiveX is a Component object model (COM developed by Microsoft for Windows. 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 Shi-Painter.
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.

Examples of Oekaki applets
OekakiBBS was developed by OekakiBBS. It was the original Oekaki applet and has smaller palettes and fewer screentones than modern-day alternatives. Screentone is a technique for applying textures and Shades to Drawings used as an alternative to Hatching. Its features include productive color blending, multiple layer support, masks and animation saving.
PaintBBS is a simple applet created by Shi-chan, which utilises two layers and a mask system. 2D computer graphics is the Computer -based generation of Digital images mdashmostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models text and digital A mask is an artefact normally worn on the face typically for protection concealment performance or amusement It has many different palettes that can be used for a variety of different effects. In Computer graphics, a palette is either a given finite set of Colors for the management of Digital images (that is a color palette) or As of version 2. 04, the program detects whether the user's computer is set to Japanese or English and displays the text on the tool buttons accordingly.
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latest applets, are becoming more popular, but they have yet to become common on English Oekaki boards due to outdated BBS software.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 many 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 probably the most powerful Oekaki applet around. A flash based Oekaki board can be found at Imageboard.net.
