write or draw in E-Mail

Sometimes you can't explain something by just typing. You need to draw a picture of it. Is there freeware that would allow me to do that? Using only my mouse. Don't want to have to buy special hardware. Thanks CB

Well there is MS Paint which is part of Windows accessories. You could just draw what you need in there, save the file and attach it to the email.

Or you could use an online sketching collaboration tool, then you would just send an invite to the person in an email, and they could see your drawing. That is more complicated than my first suggestion however.

Thank you both for your suggestions.I'll look through them and see if I can find what I want.
I was hoping to download something. Place a shortcut on my Desktop. Then all I would have to do is click on the shortcut to open the program,and like magic I could start using my mouse like a pen. Anything available that's even close to that?
