Leonardo AI turns prompts, sketches, and references into polished visual assets, with enough model choice and control for concept art, marketing graphics, and game production.
Autodraft AI
AI workspace for consistent animated characters
What is Autodraft AI?
AutoDraft AI turns prompts and references into repeatable illustrated characters, poses, and scenes. It is particularly useful for storyboards, comics, and stylized video concepts where cast consistency matters.
Building a cast across scenes
AutoDraft AI is built around a problem general image generators handle poorly: keeping a character recognizable across scenes. You can produce illustrated characters from prompts, guide composition with reference images, change poses and expressions, and create backgrounds or storyboard frames. The browser workspace favors rapid visual iteration rather than frame-by-frame animation control. It works best for stylized 2D, comic and anime-influenced projects. Anatomy, clothing details and small props can still drift, especially after several variations. Generation is credit-based, so a scene that needs many retries costs more than a straightforward one.
Use it for this, skip it for that
Choose it when recurring cast artwork matters more than photorealism or precise motion.
- Great for: developing characters, thumbnails and visual pitches before production begins.
- Great for: creators who want pose control without drawing every variation manually.
- Skip it when: you need a finished timeline editor, rigging tools or exact frame timing.
- Check first: credit allowances and current commercial-use terms before producing client work at scale.
Highlights & limitations
- Character consistency is more practical than with general-purpose image generators.
- Pose and expression controls speed up rough storyboarding.
- Particularly capable with anime, comic and other stylized 2D aesthetics.
- Free access lets creators test the workflow before paying for more generation credits.
- Hands, clothing details and props can change between generations.
- Credit use adds up quickly while rerolling a difficult scene.
- It does not replace timeline-based animation, rigging or precise frame controls.
