How can turn my laptop touchpad into a drawing pad. I search a lot for this but the only thing I found was a software called Inklet the problem I have is that this software is for Mac only. So is there any software or way to turn laptop touchpad into a drawing pad?

Press and hold with the left or right hand, draw with a stylus.
I just use my fingers. If you have enough patience, it'll work eventually. I usually hold down with my left hand and draw with my right - do whatever is comfortable for you. A website I use is aggie.io , but you can use paint or whatever is convenient for you. I inserted an example of a drawing I did.
If you're using Asus/RoG, you can probably be provided with Asus Touchpad Handwriting software. You should be able to find generic software/libraries like this (Sourceforge Link) or this GitHub repo as well to achieve the same
You can use this for adding signature to email or documents as well. It works surprisingly well
Note that to save what you have drawn on the touchpad, you need to take screenshot and save it. Simplest option is to use OneNote clipping tool or Windows 10 inbuilt screenclipping Win+Shift+S
Well, trying to code the touchpad (or trackpad) to receive absolute coordinates of touch is quite involved and lengthy. I do have the next closest solution to your issue. What if, you converted your phone (Android 5 or higher) into your touchpad? Well, not literally. You can download this app: LetsView by Apowersoft Technologies (It works safely for me) on your PC and your phone and mirror the latter's screen to the former. It also provides a whiteboard feature to sketch. You could buy a stylus or make a cheap one at home with some conducting material. Look into this: Hope it helps!
I normally just use my touchscreen with a stylus, but you can also use a stylus on the touchpad. I did adjust my settings a bit to make it more comfortable. Hold it down with your opposite hand.
