How do I turn a sketch into digital art with AI on my phone?

Snap or import your drawing, tap the Image-to-Image Edit button in Sinaï Studio, describe the colors and style you want, then generate. You can keep iterating with new prompts until the result matches your vision.

Will Sinaï Studio keep the lines and composition from my drawing?

Yes. Use prompts like "preserve pencil line art" or lower the style intensity slider so the AI respects your composition while upgrading color and texture.

Is the sketch-to-art workflow free to try?

Every Sinaï Studio account includes 25 free generations or edits per day, so you can convert your drawings to polished art before upgrading.

Can I experiment with multiple art styles from the same drawing?

Absolutely—run additional Image-to-Image passes with fresh prompts or style presets to explore anime, watercolor, concept art, or any look without redrawing the sketch.

Turn a Drawing into a Finished Image with AI (Sketch-to-Art Guide)

Introduction: bring your sketches to life with mobile AI

You already nailed the composition on paper—now let Sinaï Studio paint the final image. This tutorial shows you exactly how to turn a drawing into a finished image with AI using the Image-to-Image Edit button. Whether you sketched a character concept, product idea, or storyboard panel, you can photograph it with your phone and transform it into color-rich, production-ready art in minutes.

Key takeaways

One-button workflow: the Image-to-Image Edit button converts any drawing into polished art while respecting your original layout.
Prompt + style control: describe materials, colors, and lighting to steer the result, then fine-tune with the style intensity slider.
Create on the go: Sinaï Studio runs on iOS and Android with 25 free sketch-to-art conversions each day.

What to prepare before converting your drawing

Capture a clean photo: use even lighting and fill the frame with your drawing. Increase contrast in your phone editor if lines are faint.
Align the canvas: keep the camera parallel to your sketch so the AI reads proportions correctly.
Decide your visual goal: think "digital painting," "watercolor illustration," or "anime cel shading" so your prompt is specific.

How to transform a drawing using Image-to-Image Edit

Follow these steps entirely inside Sinaï Studio—no desktop required.

Import the drawing. Tap the camera icon or share the photo from your gallery straight into Sinaï Studio.
Open the project. Your sketch appears in the canvas with tool icons underneath.
Tap Image-to-Image Edit. The button shows a framed image with an arrow—this is the only tool you need for sketch-to-art conversions.
Write a descriptive prompt. Mention subject, materials, palette, lighting, and words such as "keep the original line art" if you want to preserve inking.
Adjust style intensity (optional). Use the slider or generation settings to decide how strongly the AI reinterprets your drawing. Lower values keep your lines; higher values allow bigger redesigns.
Generate and iterate. Press Send, review the new image, and rerun Image-to-Image with refined prompts until it matches your vision.

Pro tip: If colors bleed past the lines, mention "clean edges" and "respect outlines" in the prompt, or lower the style strength before generating again.

Step-by-step process to convert a drawing into AI art inside Sinaï Studio — Photograph the sketch, tap Image-to-Image Edit, describe the finish you want, and iterate until it feels production-ready.

Prompt recipes to try

Copy, tweak, and reuse these Image-to-Image prompts to stay consistent across a project.

Goal	Prompt starter
Digital concept art	"Turn this character sketch into a digital painting with cinematic lighting, painterly brush strokes, ultra-sharp details, keep the pose and silhouette."
Watercolor illustration	"Transform this pencil drawing into a soft watercolor illustration, pastel palette, textured paper background, preserve the ink outline and gentle shading."
Manga panel	"Convert this drawing into manga-style cel shading, bold screentone textures, crisp black outlines, dramatic backlight, maintain panel composition."

Refine the result with another Image-to-Image pass

Need small tweaks? Stay inside the same button and run another pass.

Color variation: regenerate with alternative palettes such as "noir monochrome" or "sunset neon" while keeping the drawing intact.
Detail upgrade: prompt for "add crisp highlights to the armor" or "enhance fabric texture" to add depth without repainting.
Background polish: ask for "soft gradient backdrop" or "studio style background" to finish the scene.

Troubleshooting & best practices

Lines look fuzzy: increase photo contrast before importing and include "sharp line art" in the prompt.
Composition drifts: lower style intensity and add "preserve composition and proportions."
Colors feel flat: mention light direction and material, e.g., "warm rim light" or "glossy metallic finish."
Need higher resolution: open the generation settings (top-right gear icon) to select HD output before you run Image-to-Image.

Ready for teams: share results directly from the app, and keep iterations organized inside your Studio library.
