Can you save an iMessage drawing?

I'm wondering if you can save a Digital Touch drawing made in iMessage on iOS10.

For example I made this drawing:

enter image description here

Please do not reuse without permission

I took a screenshot of it but it's not the best option.

Once in the messages, if I press and hold the drawing I can "Copy" it, then paste somewhere else (for example in a Note). But the resolution seems lower.

Is there a way to keep it as an image in the best possible resolution?


You can save it. After you send the drawing, underneath the word "keep" should appear. Click on it to save the drawing.
