The doodling feature can be accessed by creating a “new note from drawing” and by selecting the pen, highlighter, and marker tool. You can choose from 28 colors and also 6 lines of thickness options. Also, the app lets you draw on current notes by using the “add drawing” option. However, the app is only available via the Chrome Web store and will not work on any browser, including Chrome (it will not work on keep.google.com). The drawing canvas can be zoomed, and the undo/redo buttons can be used for edits. The doodling option is very handy, but only if you own a touchscreen laptop. Else it doesn’t make much sense to draw using the mouse pointer. Google’s Chromebook push might eventually phase out Chrome apps on Windows and Mac, and the doodling feature seems to be aimed at gearing up for the future, wherein we will most likely witness a surge in touchscreen Chromebooks.
