Going to quote myself from earlier, so that's why it might sound a little odd;

If your picture has transparent background in oekaki, this will work;
change the "format=auto" to "format=png" in the image url.

If it doesn't have transparent background in oekaki, and everything's on one layer it's a little trickier. If you have background on different layer, you can simply hide that layer. If you have everything done on one layer, it's at least very difficult if not impossible to erase the background in oekaki without erasing some of the image you wish to keep.
In that case, it's probably best to use an art program to get the background transparent. You could use website Iaza or download and install Gimp. You can find many tutorials for making images transparent in Gimp, but here's one of them.

For future reference, to get transparent image, don't use the first layer oekaki gives you - or erase everything on it before you start drawing. All new layers you make will be transparent.

This little tutorial might also be helpful if you need help with getting the hang of layers;

@Rockyboy, please don't write answers that are incomplete.

@nuttmeq12: Firstly, to make it clear, you can't do an animation on the oekaki. You can surely make the frames needed for it, tho! Then you can save them to your computer and, in case you have a photoshop animate there. In case you don't have a photoshop, you can go to iaza as Rockyboy suggested.


Thank you Tuike for answering all those questions while I was busy.
