RateMyDrawings http://www.ratemydrawings.com/ RateMyDrawings is making online art more social. The community at RateMyDrawings are using online tools to make art more collaborative through the real-time DrawChat and also by allowing artists to exchange files to collaborate. "On the surface, RateMyDrawings seems like a lot of other sites that look to provide artists with a way to show off their work. However, with one really cool and unique feature, the site gives users a reason to stick around, and creates a serious differentiator versus the competition.
The feature is called DrawChat, and it lets users collaborate on drawings, which can then be published to the site. As the name suggests, it includes both a blank canvas where users can draw with Photoshop-like tools, and a chat room where they can discuss the creation."See Mashable Review
