I'm looking for a solution that will let me draw on a video like you see in football games, or like Desktastic does on the desktop. Anyone have some expertise?

what kind of budget are you looking at? I know of a lot of diffrent kinds of Telestrators, but Price is ussually a road block

The volume 6 of the GeeThree plugins for iMovie has an effect called "Whiteboard" that lets you draw on video.

It works ok but won't let you change the width of the pencil, that sucks.

This is for postproduction, not live video

If you want to draw on a still frame you could import a still to photoshop, draw, and then send the still back to your video editor. Or you could place a drawing with transparency over the video clip. Are you using fcp?

I am using FCP and have photoshop, but I wanted a still frame with the actual act of drawing in motion, not a penned circle just appearing

You could easily do this in After Effects.
Either draw your lines with the masks tools and then Stroke plugin (AE standard) or use the paint or vector paint plugin (AE Pro, I think)
