You could try tux paint It isa bit childish but with a bit of work you
could make it work for you. My girls love it.  If not, you want
something like smartdraw (windows only)
http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/
requires a few extra libraries So I yum install tuxpaint and worked
very nice :)
Hope it helps out
