Doodle Drawing tutorial: from sketch to finished image

Learn how to use Doodle Drawing in OpenVideoMaker to turn quick sketches into polished images with 8 art styles.

Doodle Drawing tutorial

Doodle Drawing lets anyone turn a quick sketch into a polished image. No design experience needed.

Step 1: Draw the base shape

Simple lines and outlines work well — the model fills in detail. You do not need to draw every detail by hand.

Step 2: Write a short prompt

Keep it under 75 characters. Focus on subject, material, and mood.

Step 3: Choose a style

Eight options available:

  • Auto: Let the model decide the best style
  • 3D Cartoon: Rounded, playful 3D look
  • Anime: Japanese animation style
  • Oil Painting: Rich, textured painterly look
  • Watercolor: Soft, flowing watercolor effect
  • Sketch: Pencil or ink drawing style
  • Chinese Painting: Traditional Chinese brush painting
  • Flat Illustration: Clean, minimal vector-style illustration

Example combinations

Character: a cute robot character, round body, simple design + anime style

Product: product packaging box with ribbon, minimal + flat-illustration style

Scene: mountain cabin in snow, cozy lights + watercolor style

Key takeaway

Doodle Drawing bridges the gap between rough ideas and polished visuals. A simple sketch plus a short prompt is all you need to get started.
