Please check out Sketchplanet - A user community drawing site, has 25k sketches and 5k members.

Let me know what you kindly think and any improvements!

Nice idea. However, it would be nice if users could do sketches without having to create an account. That way they could see what the interface is like before taking the time to fill in all the forms.

Very good site idea and it did not take long to load. Also, would like to see the user interface before registering.

nice site i like the colour scheme you have chosen the banner is simply could do with a redesign but still it isn't too bad also the code doesn't validate there are two warnings you should try to fix this problem best of look anyway mate

nice site, keep it up

Yes this is a great site, its a good idea. I agree you could have a brilliant banner, it could include a variety of the best sketches and if designed well would work great.

Maybe you could hold a competition on your site - the best sketches gets to be in the banner. This could draw you some new members. (draw you some new members.... doh!!)

Cool idea; now if you could just get some decent artists on there!

How are you powering the sketch tool? AJAX?

Thanks guys for the feedback, appreciate it!

In response to the comments,

- The header section needs changing..agreed - but wouldn't it confuse the user if there are already drawings there (popular ones?). The top bar is just for sketching only...perhaps I could have a help section to show people how the tool is used.

- Yes the site is flash based and with PHP and Ajax

- I'd prefer users to login and sketch, I need a user base, now each user has their own page and RSS feed. Also I can track who sketched what.
