First, choose an oekaki board. Since it's your first time drawing in oekaki, beginners would probably be good. Then click on the button that says "new drawing/topic". Oekaki should open now. If it draws a blank screen, make sure you have Java installed.

When you open oekaki again, it should be there, under the text "OR EDIT AN UNFINISHED DRAWING:", under the drawing area. :] Click on it.

I'm not really sure how to explain it other way than we already explained. ^^;
The user wants images of all of the adoptable stages, as in, they want to store them all to their computer/character thread etc, and they want the images to have transparent background. Does that make sense? :]

Hmmmm. Did you make sure you clicked on the "copy image url/location/address" or went to image properties and get the url from there, and didn't click on the "Copy Image"? Because "copy image" won't work, it won't paste anything into a post. :3
.... Well, How do I find the 'copy image url/location/address' thing?

It should be there when you right click on the image. Or if you're using Internet Explorer, go to image properties and copy the url from there. :]

I'm not sure if someone asked this but... I've been noticing some people post artwork made in the oekaki that is sideways o.o and they have to flip it for people to see it. Is there a way to rotate the oekaki canvas? How did they draw a picture sideways?

an example of what I mean is like this.

Do you see the that tool next to paint bucket-tool? With that, you can rotate the canvas. Just select the tool and try spinning the canvas. :]

And that's why you're awesome Tuike c: Thank you! The oekaki canvas just became a whole lot less frustrating for me.
