how to sketch a portrait

You can have fun drawing online at BenettonPlay. This is a 35 frame animated gif. The whole process is managed through a Flash 9.0 application. I suspect given how long it took to save and render that if you've got dialup and an old computer try the 5 frame animations. My prototype was 100 frames. Um, everything died. It is fun, and the results are easily achieved, albeit slowly. I particularly liked the 'onion-skin' approach as this allows for quite accurate animation and tweening, if that is your wish. I didn't need it for this anim, but it's good never-the-less.
