- Attach a mousedown, mousemove, and mouseup event listener to the canvas DOM
- on mousedown, get the mouse coordinates, and use the moveTo() method to position your drawing cursor and the beginPath() method to begin a new drawing path.
- on mousemove, continuously add a new point to the path with lineTo(), and color the last segment with stroke().
- on mouseup, set a flag to disable the drawing.
From there, you can add all kinds of other features like giving the user the ability to choose a line thickness, color, brush strokes, and even layers.
Here is a working sample.

<script type="text/javascript">
var canvas, ctx, flag = false,
