Drawing with a Trackpad

My MacBook has a large trackpad instead of a mouse. It's about 3 by 4 inches and that's large enough to draw on. So I downloaded a little program called Inklet and sure enough, now I have a little drawing tablet. I also got an inexpensive stylus but if it works better than using a finger, I'm not skillful enough to tell.

Here's my test drawing created using Inklet and Photoshop - pretty clumsy but I'm going to try again. A complication is that you press another finger (or your opposing thumb) on the trackpad at the same time to make it active.
