Drawing is more fun with a friend. Artmate is a multiplayer drawing app where you and a real drawing buddy sketch the same picture together, side by side, step by step, in real time. Artmate is built on one simple idea: nobody wants to sketch alone on a blank screen. Pick a drawing you love or tap Quick Match, and two players join the same guided lesson — watching each other's strokes appear live on one shared canvas, like sitting at the same table. DRAW TOGETHER, IN REAL TIME - Choose a drawing you love, or tap Quick Match to start with any drawing - Get paired with a drawing buddy in seconds - True multiplayer: both of you draw the same picture at the same time - See every stroke appear live on one shared canvas - Finish a beautiful sketch together, every single time LEARN TO DRAW, STEP BY STEP - Guided step-by-step lessons, so there's never a scary blank page - Each step shows exactly what to sketch and which color to use - Earn stars on every step as your picture comes to life - Fun topics everyone loves: animals, food, and more PLAY WITH FRIENDS YOU KNOW - Create a private room and share a simple 4-digit code - Invite a classmate, sibling, friend, or parent to draw together - Add friends right from the drawing room SAVE AND SHARE THE MOMENT - Every finished sketch saves as an image plus a fun time-lapse video - Share to Photos, Messages — never posted publicly PERFECT FOR - Anyone who'd rather draw together than sketch alone - Families and friends looking for a safe, ad-free multiplayer drawing app - Playdates, siblings, cousins, and long trips - Quiet afternoons and screen time that actually teaches you to draw SAFE BY DESIGN - No ads, ever - No open chat, no public feed, no messaging outside the drawing room - You create only inside guided lessons — safe by structure, not just moderation Open Artmate and draw together today.
