Sketchar

What is Sketchar?

Sketchar is a drawing app designed to help you learn to draw faster, explore different styles, and create art anywhere. It blends art, technology, education, and entertainment, using augmented reality and AI to teach drawing skills. The app won the Webby Award for ‘Best Use of Augmented Reality’ in 2018.

Sketchar aims to bring out creative talent in everyone, helping users move from feeling unsure to confident. Users report improving their drawing, reducing stress, and finding a creative outlet — including people who don’t consider themselves artists. The app also supports collaborative learning and creating art with others, and schools around the world use it to engage students in art through drawing.

Who created Sketchar?

Sketchar was founded by Andrey Drobitko and Alex Danilin, who met in 2004 — Andrey studying graphic design, Alex studying computer science. They launched their first tech venture together in 2011, and one of their products was recognized as an App Store Best of 2015. The company behind the app, SKETCHAR Inc., continues to focus on helping people build artistic skills with modern technology.
