Another variant of the draw stroke is a stationary draw stroke. This stroke can be very helpful for eddy turns. It can also be used to move sideways when under speed with little or no effort. The keys to a stationary draw are speed and paddle angle. Bow draws typically use an open power face and require a fair amount of speed to be effective. Gliding draws are done from the rear of the boat and are very similar to a rudder stroke except the paddle shaft is held more vertical. The are used to control and stop spin. They use the non-power side of the paddle blade, just like a rudder. Here is a good example of one used to catch an eddy: Gliding Eddy Turn. Here is another variation of the stationary draw stroke: Static Bow Draw. You can also move the somewhat stationary draw from the from to the back of the boat to glide gently sideways. This takes some practice and isn't commonly used in whitewater.
