For the artist inside you that is screaming to get out, let him loose on MyDrawings, a site for people who love to doodle. You have to register to participate but it’s free and takes two seconds.
The idea is that the site is a virtual canvas where anyone can make drawings and share them instantly. You create a user profile and you can make friends in the network. Each doodle gets a rating which makes it more visible on the site. Also check out the World Canvas, a myriad collection of drawings from the site users, made into a patchwork blanket kind of thing. It’s a fun site that you and your artist friends could use to show each other ideas for projects.

Some Questions About MyDrawings.com
The site seems to need one more element to make it a really complete site. Right now there aren’t that many ways to be active. Maybe they could have an “interesting links” section or a forum to discuss doodling. Or people could contribute digital images of “found art,” like paper napkins with doodles found in a restaurant somewhere.
