How it works

Describe it, or add a photo

Write what to draw and how: "a pencil sketch of a cat", "an easy drawing of a car", "a realistic charcoal portrait". Or add a photo to redraw.

Get a hand-drawn look

Each drawing keeps to one medium with its own marks: graphite shading, ink lines and washes, the deep blacks of charcoal. Pencil unless you ask for another.

Draw from it, print it, or change it

Use it as a reference to copy, print it, or open it to change the medium, the subject or the level of detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a drawing with AI?

Describe the drawing you want in the box: the subject, and if you like the medium and the level, "an easy pencil drawing of a dog" or "a realistic charcoal portrait". Craiyon makes it look drawn by hand, in one medium, the drawing filling the picture.
Can I turn a photo into a drawing?

Yes. Add your photo in the box, of a pet, a person, a car or a house, and say the medium if you want one. Craiyon redraws it as a pencil, ink or charcoal drawing, keeping the subject recognizable. A photo edit uses one of your credits.
Which drawing styles can I get?

Pencil and graphite, colored pencil, ballpoint pen, pen and ink, brush ink, charcoal, pastel, marker, scratchboard and clean line art. Name one in your description; without it you get a pencil drawing.
Can I get an easy drawing to copy, or a realistic one?

Yes. Say "easy" or "simple" for clean outlines and a little shading, good to copy or to learn from; "sketch" for loose lines; "realistic" or "detailed" for a full range of tones and fine textures.
Can I use the drawings?

Yes, to draw from, to print or to share. Free images carry a small watermark; subscribers download them without it. See the Terms of Use for selling them.
