Can AI understand your rough sketches?

ChatGPT just added a new sketch feature to its new Images 2.5 model, so I tried it with extremely simple sketches and short prompts to see how well it could understand my intention.

And honestly, I actually like it!

This can be helpful especially when you already have a specific pose or composition in mind and want to quickly turn that rough idea into something more refined.

If you’re curious, I included a quick process video in the comments.

Do you think this new feature could be useful in your workflow?

So cool

Absolutely. The ability to translate a rough sketch into a refined visual while preserving the intended pose, composition, and creative direction could make the ideation process much faster. It feels especially useful for designers who want to communicate an idea visually before spending time refining every detail. Definitely a feature worth experimenting with in a real workflow.

This is a great experiment! The sketch to refined visual pipeline could seriously speed up early ideation. Curious how it handles more abstract or complex sketches.
