Anyone can draw with Google AutoDraw, even me.

My Spider...
...converted by AutoDraw

I can draw!!! In school I never managed to score anything above zero in arts class, so much so that my teacher, recognizing a desperate cause, just let sit in a corner of the class and do my own thing. Years later, I still suffer from this severe lack of artistic skills. But that is all about to change thanks to Google's AutoDraw, which turns your scribbles into something meaningful and pretty.

AutoDraw is a web-based tool that works in about any browser on a PC or phone "that pairs machine learning with drawings created by talented artists to help you draw." If you're reluctant, I strongly encourage you to go ahead and give a try. I did and look at the drawings above I made with AutoDraw. There are builtin tools you can use to make your drawings prettier, such as adding text, fill you drawing with colors and finally save it to your computer or device.

Make sure you watch this nice video from Google about AutoDraw.



To try AutoDraw, point your browser to autodraw.com. It's free.

LokLok - You're going to love this Android app.

The Play store is home to millions of apps, but there are some apps which are so cute you just want to share with the Android community. It would be useless to keep it to yourself anyway since we live in a connected world. LokLok is one of these apps. LokLok just let you connect with your friends via your lock screen. Imagine you want to remind your friend to bring a bottle of red wine to a party you're both attending. There are a couple of scenarii that applies in this situation.

You can send a sms or email to your friend or create a reminder in your calendar and add your friend. Basically there are quite a few solutions that are available to you on your Android device. The usual stuff. How about changing that.

LokLok has been design to offer you an new way to leave a note, a drawing and photos on your friends lock screen. All that is requires is that you both install LokLok which is currently in beta and therefore is free for tablets and phones. It is for the time being an Android exclusive. After you've both installed the app, you start by drawing something on your lock screen. You double tap the screen to do that. Once done, whatever you've drawn or written will appear your fiends lock screen like magic. Chances are that your friend checks his phone several times a day. So once he unlocks his Android device, he/she will see your reminder. How about that?

Check out the two videos below to see how it works and how to connect your lock screens.





After watching these videos, head over to Google Play store to download LokLok. Enjoy!
