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?
Turning a rough pose sketch into a refined image without losing the original composition is the actual killer use case here, going to try this on some old thumbnails.
The jump from that basic sketch to the final image is wild! This is a massive time-saver for storyboarding and quickly communicating art direction before a build.
The test I'd want is an ambiguous sketch: does it keep your layout intent, or quietly substitute its own composition? That's where sketch-to-image tools usually stop being useful in a workflow.
Really liked how these designs turned out!
Explored a concept for AI SaaS product, focusing on a clean interface and a simple, intuitive chat experience.
Tried two different layout variation for the hero section.
Which would you like?
I like the second layout more — the headline "Your ideas deserve an intelligent partner" + the chat preview below makes the AI feel real and easy to use immediately. The first one is also clean, but this one sells the product faster.
Lately, I’ve been spending more time illustrating. Not necessarily with a particular goal in mind, but simply because I enjoy it.
Working as a designer often means adapting to different visual languages. Every project comes with its own identity, references, and expectations. And while I love that part of the process, there’s something refreshing about creating without any of those things in mind.
I’ve started noticing certain patterns in my illustrations. The way I draw faces, exaggerate proportions, or approach particular details. Little decisions that I don’t necessarily think about while making them, but somehow keep appearing.
It’s interesting because I’ve never really sat down and decided what my illustration style should look like. It seems to be something that has developed naturally through repetition, experimentation, and probably a lot of things I’ve been influenced by along the way.
I think we sometimes put too much pressure on ourselves to develop a recognizable style, especially as creatives. But maybe it’s less about trying to create one and more about paying attention to the things we naturally gravitate toward.
There’s something quite satisfying about looking at something you’ve made and seeing a little bit of yourself in it.
