Welcome!

You've found the best YoVille® whiteboard picture drawing site on the web. There are 694 images waiting for you to download and draw, all for FREE!!.

What is all this?

A popular Zynga® game, YoVille® has a flourishing whiteboard art community. Originally, the pictures could only be drawn by hand, but around Christmas 2009 I developed a scheme for drawing onto a whiteboard using a heavily processed image and a fairly simple computer program.

More recently, with some help from a friend, it became possible to make better resolution pictures and finally an extended palette of colours drawn much more quickly than my first efforts.

This site is a collection of image requests from YoVille® players over a period of eight months.

What should I look at?

If you are new here take a look at the Picture Catalog and try downloading and drawing some of the pictures. If you've been here before take a look at the New images.

There are screen-shots and answers to some of your questions on the FAQ page.

Firefox 4 support

The current version of the YoPainter program now works with Firefox 4, but there are a few problems.

  • On FaceBook, with Firefox 4 (also seems to have started happening with Firefox 3.6.18 and below), the whiteboard moves up and down a few pixels when the banner adverts change. I would guess that this is a bug in the FaceBook code. I have a fix for this, but it involves using Greasemonkey (which is a clever Firefox addon) and this small script adsuppress to hide the banner adverts.
  • There also appears to be a change in behaviour in Firefox 4 that messes up the method I use to send mouse events to the flash program where YoVille runs. This makes the stop and pause buttons useless as just clicking on the YoPainter program (switching focus away from Firefox) messes up the drawing.

For now, if you have Firefox 3.6.18 or below already installed, wait to upgrade to Firefox 4 if you want to keep drawing pictures reliably using YoPainter. If you don't have Firefox installed, try and find the installer for Firefox 3.6.18. It was on this page when I wrote this: Firefox 3.6.18
