[|Flash PAINT] will give you a grid to work on (nice for linear work), and you can change the paint/pencil depth create a realistic pencil or watercolor effect.

[|offtype.net] has the easiest interface, and starts you immediately on a canvas. This one is great for young 'uns, or folks with limited computer skills. Oh, you can also embed (put a copy) of the drawing canvas in your blog or Webpage.

[|Cubescape] will give you a three dimensional option, PLUS you get to blow up (as in explode, not expand) your work, or replay its construction.

[|viscosity] - it's difficult to describe what you are creating here. Imagine a multi layer pudding in a clear bowl, and swirling a spoon through it moving the layers and colors. That's sort of what you end up with. Anyway check out the example above. It's really easy to use, and the results are interesting.
