<canvas id="draw" style="cursor: url(image/pencil.cur)">

I have accomplished this but i cant figure out how shall i change the cursor while I Drag the mouse for drawing the image

Answer 1

Use the :active CSS pseudo-class to change the cursor when the mouse button is down over the element:

#draw:active { 
    cursor: url(image/pencil.cur);
}
