Once again, the tool that I really want to see on Linux is available on... MacOSX.

(I wonder if there is a Linux alternative? Closest thing I use is the drawing mode in emacs).

You might try Durdraw. Not exactly the same as Monodraw, but it does color, utf8, animation, mouse drawing, etc, and runs in the terminal.
