Illustration from a brief
Describe the subject, activity, and intended framing for a story, cover concept, or editorial image. Choose a style that helps the idea remain readable at its final size.

Choose the medium as carefully as the subject.
A useful art brief explains what the image shows and how that idea should feel through material, color, composition, and mark-making.
Start from text when the work has no source image yet. A fox reading beneath a lamp becomes a different piece when rendered as a loose watercolor, a graphic screen print, or a softly lit three-dimensional scene. Describe the medium and its visible qualities instead of relying on a long string of style labels. Give the composition a focal point and leave enough room for the subject to read clearly.
Start from a reference when a character, setting, or composition is already established. Use image to image to reinterpret that material with a defined treatment. VideoAny keeps these stages connected: create the still with ImageAny, refine a chosen direction, then upload it to image to video for a moving illustration. Review the artwork as a whole and in detail before deciding which version belongs in the project.
Create a treatment that supports the idea.
Explore the artistic decisions that make a scene coherent.
Painting-like surfaces
Explore watercolor washes, visible brushwork, layered color, or textured pigment. Name the physical appearance of the medium so the treatment reaches beyond a generic filter.
Graphic visual concepts
Build compositions with strong silhouettes, limited palettes, and simple shapes. Leave exact type and brand marks for a design stage where their placement can be controlled.
Character studies
Develop an original character’s clothing, expression, and environment. Select a useful reference image before asking for more scenes, and review consistency in each new version.
Reference transformations
Bring a photo or sketch into image to image and describe the artistic interpretation. State which composition or identity cues should survive the change in medium.
Art prepared for motion
Choose a clear focal point and readable layers of depth in the still. Those choices give you a more focused starting point when directing a later image-to-video shot.
Let the medium shape the visual idea.
Source reference examples for planning your brief; these are not presented as ImageAny-generated outputs.
Colored-pencil texture
A fox in a birch forest shows how marks and paper-like texture contribute to the scene. Describe those qualities when choosing a drawing treatment.
Flat editorial shapes
A train-reading scene uses simplified forms to keep the subject readable. Plan the focal point and palette together when writing an illustration brief.
Digital color and light
Neon reflections establish a futuristic street atmosphere. Choose a controlled relationship between bright accents and dark areas so the scene remains coherent.
Turn a visual idea into a deliberate art brief.
Prepare your direction, then continue in the workspace.
Choose the idea and medium
Define the main subject and what it is doing. Decide whether the image should read as a drawing, painting, graphic composition, or another visual treatment.
Build the prompt
Select ImageAny V3 or V2 and add framing, palette, light, and texture. Keep the most important artistic choices clear and compatible.
Open the right image workspace
Use text to image for a new concept or image to image for an existing reference. Review the model’s output options and credit amount.
Select and develop the direction
Inspect the composition, anatomy, and small details. Refine the chosen image or download it for use as a starting frame in a separate video workflow.
What world would you like to draw?
Choose a starting art brief and make it your own. Create from text, or take the same direction into image to image when you have a visual reference.

Match the workflow to your source and final requirements.
| Your goal | Suggested workflow | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Invent a new scene | Text to image | Supply the subject, medium, palette, composition, and mood. |
| Restyle an existing photo or sketch | Image to image | Provide the source and explain what should carry into the new treatment. |
| Keep exact vector shapes or editable layers | A drawing or design application | Build and adjust the artwork with direct control over its structure. |
| Bring a selected artwork into motion | Image to video | Upload the chosen still and describe a focused movement. |
Give the artistic treatment a clear structure.
Adapt these directions to your image and intended use.
Describe the medium visibly
Explain the texture and marks you want rather than adding unrelated style names.
Loose watercolor washes, visible paper grain, and softly bleeding color edges.
Choose a limited palette
A small set of colors makes a complex idea easier to organize.
Deep indigo shadows, muted coral highlights, and warm off-white paper.
Give the composition a focal point
Decide where the viewer should look first and what supports that subject.
A small lit doorway at the end of a winding path, surrounded by dark trees.
AI Art Generator questions.
Can I create art without a reference image?
Yes. Text to image starts from your written description. Include the subject, medium, palette, composition, and lighting that matter most. ImageAny V3 is selected initially, and you can choose V2 before opening the workspace.
Can a photo become an illustration or painting?
Yes. Use image to image, upload the source, and describe the new artistic treatment. State which subject, pose, or layout should remain recognizable. The model reinterprets the image, so fine details may change with the medium.
Does the output include editable layers or vectors?
This workflow returns a generated image. It does not provide a layered painting file or an editable vector construction. If the project needs precise paths, separate objects, or production typography, finish the chosen image in an appropriate design application.
How do I keep a character consistent?
Establish a clear reference and reuse it when developing related images. Describe distinctive clothing, features, and palette, then compare every result. Reference-guided generation can help maintain direction but does not guarantee identical character details across scenes.
Can I animate an artwork in VideoAny?
Yes. Download the chosen still and upload it in image to video. A restrained movement, such as drifting clouds or a slow camera push, is a useful first brief. Review the result for changes to line work, faces, and the intended style.
What should I consider before using the art publicly?
Use source material you have the right to upload and review the result for recognizable marks, unwanted resemblance, or other details that do not fit your brief. The applicable service terms and rights in your source material still matter for the final use.
