One of the most exciting features of YUVA is the Artist’s Sketchbook. When you complete a drawing, you can choose to save it in your own Sketchbook. Give the drawing a unique name and then show it off by sending an e-card to your friends and family! And best of all, they can write back and tell you what they liked about it like signing a Guestbook at an Art Gallery.
The next time you play with YUVA, look for the smiling Feedback icon – this will show you the responses received from those you sent e-cards to! YUVA Artists say that this is one of their favorite YUVA features.
You can choose to flip through your previous drawings anytime by selecting the "View my Sketchbook" button on the opening screen of YUVA or every time you start a new drawing.
Every time you open a drawing from your Sketchbook, you can send it as an e-card. You can print it. You can even continue drawing with it – and make a fresh new drawing starting where you left it previously. You can also edit the old shapes.
Your sketchbook will become like a history of your progress, and will show up to 60 drawings. When you flip through its pages, you will be able to see your growing confidence and creativity. Delete drawings you don't want.
Note: YUVA Members will receive a monthly summary on drawings and e-cards created each month.
“My daughter (Age 4-1/2) absolutely loves YUVA and asks to play every time she sees me putting the computer on. The great thing is that over a month or so, I have seen her drawings develop and she is getting more bold and more inventive in designing as well as naming the drawings.” Vidya, Parent, YUVA Member and Contributor to YUVA-Ideabooks, in London, UK
