Sketch Preparation Steps

Take your time preparing your sketch - its quality directly impacts the final design.

Tips for High-Quality Sketches

Create clean, precise sketches to ensure the AI processes them correctly. Use black ink on white paper for the best contrast. Draw bold, intentional lines and avoid faint or sketchy strokes that could confuse the system.

Here’s how to ensure your sketch is up to par:

• Use black pens (0.5–0.7 mm) for consistent, bold lines
• Choose smooth, unlined white paper
• Apply steady pressure while drawing
• Leave white space around your design
• Separate design elements clearly

How to Digitize Your Sketch

Turning your physical sketch into a digital file requires accuracy. A flatbed scanner set to at least 300 DPI works best. If you’re using a smartphone camera, follow these steps:

• Place your sketch on a flat, even surface
• Ensure the lighting is even and free of shadows
• Hold your phone parallel to the sketch
• Use grid lines on your phone to align the image
• Take multiple shots and pick the clearest one
