To draw pictures is creative activity, and one of effective method of self-expression. Generally speaking, however, as people get older, the opportunities to draw pictures decrease and people become not to enjoy drawing in the daily life. Therefore, our project aims to bring drawing, which is essentially enjoyable and makes the life creative, closer to the public people. In this paper, the authors propose "Minimal Drawing", which can solve the problems mentioned above. In order to achieve minimal drawing experience, the authors developed a drawing environment, called as "Roll Canvas". It has the circulated canvas. The user can control the rotation of the canvas, and he/she can draw any kind of pictures freely when the canvas is rotating. Unexpected line drawing can be generated due to the contingency between user's drawing action and the rotation of the canvas. The drawing sometimes can be an artistic picture or a textile design. In this way, the minimal drawing experience includes both user's intension and accidental strokes, which can open up further possibility of drawing to the wide range of people.
