Create a second layer if you don't want to erase the background (checkerboard pattern). Alternatively paint with a white brush, or whatever is your background color.

Saving an Image onto your Computer

You do that with "File"->"Export Image". This should save the image in your download folder.
If you are not using Chrome, "Export Image" will open a new tab with your image which you'll have to manually save (Right Click -> Save Image).

Importing Images

You import images from your Desktop by dragging them onto the canvas. You can then use them as a new layer or start a new image with them.
Supported Filetypes: JPEG, PNG, PSD

Store Locally

Local Storage is different from saving your image somewhere on your computer. Instead It will store the current painting with all layers in your browser. So when you open Kleki sometime later you can immediately continue working on your painting.
Due to technical limitations you'll have to manually click on "Store Locally" under "File" each time you want to store the current state.

Learning How to Draw/Paint

It's all about practice, persistence, observation, experimentation, understanding some key concepts (perspective, color theory, etc.), self evaluation, and enjoying the process. Drawing skills are mostly independent of what tools you use. Here are some great resources on this huge subject:
Arne's Art Tutorial
Feng Zhu Design - Free Tutorials
A Tumblr on Anatomy (check out the resources page!)
Robotpencil on Talent
Books by Loomis
TL;DR: Keep drawing, you will gradually improve. Learning from masters will help.

Wacom Users

Chrome doesn't support Wacom drivers anymore.
For all other browsers: Are you experiencing troubles or don't have any pressure sensitivity? Installing the latest drivers usually helps:
