What does sketch to shippable actually look like in real time? πŸŽ₯
Honestly, I went in doubting it, and came out convinced, for early concepting at least. πŸ€” I recorded the whole process, doodle to final.
Calling all desginers to run it on your own idea and drop the result below. Here's the prompt I edited, templated so you can run it on your own campaign:
"Create an original artwork inspired by the attached sketch. [describe your product: material, finish, colors, depth]. Main focus on [your hero element]. Do not preserve exact strokes or shapes. Boldly reimagine its forms, proportions, colors, materials, and details. Never trace or retain the original lines, integrate their ideas naturally through texture, lighting, and color. For simple sketches, invent a richer interpretation. Ask me about preferred artistic style with a few options."
Where does it hold up, where does it break? πŸ‘€

The recorded sketch-to-final progression makes the AI workflow feel tangible rather than magical. I especially like that the prompt asks for reinterpretation while keeping material, lighting, and color intentional.

Exactly! It's not too literal, and makes you feel more in control which I really enjoyed

That prompt template is really solid. The 'never trace, reimagine' instruction is key since it's what separates a texture-aware output from a flat trace.

It truly is, I love that ChatGPT already gives you a starting point for the sketch interpretation

The line about never tracing the original strokes is the part most people skip when they write these prompts, that's what actually keeps it from looking like a filter.
