Sketchmate is a free iPad keyboard app to send animated sketches to anyone. The app provides you with a blank White canvas where you can sketch anything you want. All the sketches made by using this app are animated and glittery, which makes them pop out.
The app automatically copies the animated sketch to the clipboard, from where it can be directly shared via iMessage or email. There are no limitations on the number of animated sketches that you can draw or/and share.
