Live Painting

Sketch live and watch AI render your drawing in real time using your models, prompts and masks for fast concept art.

Key benefits

  • Instant rendering

    Live Painting transforms rough sketches into rendered images in under a second, providing immediate feedback for rapid ideation

  • Works with any model

    Choose from your library of custom or built-in models to maintain consistent style and characters

  • Dynamic dual-screen interface

    Draw on the left canvas while seeing AI-generated results update in real time on the right; use the sidebar for brushes, erasers, masks and a color picker

  • Prompt Spark & refinement

    Enter a prompt to guide the AI, then expand or refine it with Prompt Spark; adjust influence sliders to balance sketch precision and AI creativity

  • Targeted inpainting & variations

    Mask specific areas to edit them without affecting the rest of the image; generate alternative versions using the Variation button

  • Integrated enhancement & export

    Enhance the final artwork for higher quality or export it to other Scenario tools (Canvas, Image-to-Image, Enhance) to polish and save your assets

How it works

  1. 1

    Launch Live & select a model

    Access Live from the main menu, a model page or within Canvas. Load your desired model — whether it's a style model or a character model.

  2. 2

    Start sketching

    Use the sketch tool to draw on a blank canvas or import an image. Adjust brush size and color, sample colors with the dropper, and draw simple shapes or color patches. Your sketch instantly appears as a rendered image on the right.

  3. 3

    Guide with prompts

    Enter a prompt to describe your desired result. Use Prompt Spark for suggestions and expand or refine your prompt. Refine the prompt as you add or remove elements from your sketch.

  4. 4

    Control influence & variations

    Adjust the Influence slider to decide how closely the AI follows your sketch: higher values adhere more to your drawing, while lower values give the AI more freedom.

  5. 5

    Inpaint & refine

    Transfer your output to the canvas and use masking tools to isolate sections. Sketch within masked areas and reapply your prompt to edit only those regions.

  6. 6

    Enhance & export

    Use Scenario Enhance to upscale or adjust your final artwork. Save your image to collections or transfer it to other Scenario workflows like Canvas or Image-to-Image for further refinement.
