I like the brush options, but I don't care for all of the gimmicky "toys" cluttering things up.
I couldn't see or find a pressure sensitivity option, but if there is one and it works with
the brush tool I'd gladly put up with all the other crap tools being there. Nice layout though,
all of the settings for each tool up and out of the way but easy to find and use.

SumoPaint, Photoshop, the other Oekaki applets, and the other paintings sites I've tried, none of them can do what the "blend" option can do in Lascaux Sketch. That blend option is the key tool for me, it gives the strokes a quality similar to oils, much like the "wet-on-wet" effect.

Cool toy, but I agree with Axil, I can't find the pressure sensitivity option.

I appreciate the fun tools, but it usually leads to me not making anything proper, just go around playing and playing.

Another of those Flash based Photoshop-esque apps...
The interface looks quite slick(Right Mouse Button Actions), but painting is as with every Flash-app pretty slow.
It's especially funny how they interpolate the lines....the strokes go all around the place when I'm attempting to draw slow and edgy lines.
And it doesn't trace my whole strokes, even when I'm drawing slow.
Also it's a joke that it doesn't have the blending-functionality, which is actually easy to implement. A hotkey for picking colors is also missing. At least you can always see the color-palette.

I wouldn't use it, since the key functionality(when it comes to painting) isn't well enough covered.

Seems like everybody is doing these Photoshop Clones lately, of which none offers something new.

I agree with axil (too many gimmicky toys). In my opinion, Lascaux is the best drawing applet (best gradient fill, best blending, best layers, best layout), and ChibiPaint is second best.
The only thing I would like on Lascaux is to be able the make the brush size really big (like on ChibiPaint), other than that, Lascaux is the perfect drawing applet for me.

It's fun to play with, but not for painting.
I can see myself using it though.
