Turn a drawing into finished art with AI, in the style you choose
The Draimo team
Short answer
Draw on a Draimo Ink page, or paste a photo of a paper sketch, then press Make it art and pick a style: photo, watercolour, oil painting, storybook, anime, 3D, comic, clay, pixel art, pencil, flat vector or blueprint. The finished picture keeps every object you drew, where you drew it, and any words you wrote. Put it on the page, download it, or animate it.

Why the composition stays yours
Most image tools start from a sentence and invent the layout. Make it art starts from your drawing and is told to keep it: every object in its place, at its size, with its words spelled the same, and nothing added. The style changes the finish (colour, light, texture), not the picture.
Saying what the drawing is helps. "A bakery on a busy street" tells it that the boxes are shopfronts, not crates.
The twelve styles
- Photo: real light and materials.
- Watercolour: soft washes on paper.
- Oil painting: rich brushwork on canvas.
- Storybook: warm picture-book gouache.
- Anime: clean line art and cel shading.
- 3D: an animated-film look.
- Comic: inked outlines and halftone.
- Clay: handmade claymation.
- Pixel art: a retro sprite palette.
- Pencil: refined graphite shading.
- Flat vector: clean graphic shapes.
- Blueprint: white linework on blue, for plans and parts.
How to get a good result
- Draw the shapes that matter and leave out shading: the style supplies it.
- Label anything that could be read two ways.
- Pick a style, add a few words about what it is, and press Make it.
- If it is not right, try another style on the same sketch.
- Put the picture on the page next to the sketch, or download it.
From a picture to a vector or a video
Your own linework exports as SVG from the same page, so the sketch can go into Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape. The finished picture can become a five-second video with Animate it.
Questions people ask
- Can I use a photo of a paper drawing?
- Yes. Paste or drop the photo onto a page, select it, and press Make it art. The photo is the starting point.
- Who owns the picture?
- Your sketch stays yours: uploading it does not transfer ownership to Draimo. The picture is provided to you for the uses your plan allows; like any AI output it may not be unique, so check rights before you sell it.
- How long does it take?
- About twenty seconds for a picture.
- Which plans include it?
- Drawing uses no credits. Making pictures is on paid plans.
