JZ,

If you are open to use of a commercial component I'd like to
suggest you consider our MetaDraw .NET Winforms component.

With MetaDraw you just set one property ( EditMode )
to allow user to draw freehand lines, or set floodfill.
Adding / merging in images, is also easy - just set
PictureClip property, or set PictureImage and then
set EditMode to allow user to Draw the image where he
wants.
MetaDraw also has full Multi-Step UnDo/ ReDo support.

Check it out at www.MetaDraw.com
Drop me a note and let me know what you think.
I hope this is helpful to you.
