One Sketch, Five Completely Different Images — AI Editing in Practice
If you have a sketch you've drawn yourself, you can create entirely different worlds from those lines. In XBRUSH's Edit menu, upload your sketch as a reference image and you can generate images in any atmosphere you want — keeping the pose and composition intact while changing only the style. From simple coloring to cyberpunk, fantasy, and vintage illustration — just change the prompt.
| Style | Setting | Color Palette | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greek Mythology | Ancient ruins | Soft neutrals, gold | Concept art, editorial illustration |
| Modern Animation | Colorful library | Bright, clean | Children's content, character design |
| Cyberpunk | Dystopian city, full moon | Dark, red glow accents | Game art, sci-fi branding |
| Fantasy Martial Arts | Dramatic sunset sky | Warm, epic tones | Fantasy game characters, webtoon |
| Vintage Illustration | Rock, blue sky with clouds | Watercolor, muted | Posters, book covers, branding |
How to Upload a Sketch
In the XBRUSH workspace, click the top Edit tab. Upload your sketch file to Image to Edit in the left panel, then type the desired atmosphere in the prompt box. The AI engine follows the sketch's lines and pose while only changing the style.

One Pose, Infinite Worlds
The same sketch with different prompts produced completely different images — from Greek mythology to cyberpunk. Because the pose and composition are preserved, this is especially useful for creating character series or multiple skins with the same pose.
Even rough lines are enough. The details are filled in by the prompt.
The sketch doesn't need to be polished — it just needs to capture the pose and proportions. Think of your sketch as the skeleton: the prompt is what gives it flesh, costume, world, and atmosphere. The rougher your lines, the more room the AI has to interpret and surprise you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How detailed does a sketch need to be for XBRUSH to generate a good result?
Even rough linework is sufficient. XBRUSH reads the overall pose, proportions, and composition from the sketch rather than relying on fine detail. In this post, a simple line drawing with basic silhouette information was enough to produce five distinctly styled images — the prompt fills in all the visual detail that the sketch leaves out.
Q: Does XBRUSH preserve the exact pose when I change styles, or does it reinterpret the figure?
XBRUSH uses the sketch as a structural reference, so the core pose — arm position, foot placement, body angle — is carried over across all style variations. Minor reinterpretations can occur, especially with loose sketches, but the fundamental composition stays recognizable. For tighter pose control, a more refined sketch yields more consistent results.
Q: Can I use this sketch-to-image workflow for webtoon or game character concept development?
Yes, this is one of the most practical uses. Artists and game developers can sketch a pose or character concept quickly, then use XBRUSH to rapidly explore multiple visual styles — fantasy, sci-fi, modern animation — without redrawing. This dramatically speeds up the concepting phase and helps communicate different art direction options to a team.
