Hey all!
My girlfriend really likes drawing and needed to draw a bunch of animals as she wants to become a children's book illustrator.
One day at a cafe, she got stuck trying to draw a fox. So I took the reference photo of the same fox and asked ChatGPT to give the same photo as a pencil sketch, but in 5 steps - from basic shapes to full detail.
Even though my prompts were not perfect, the generated pencil sketches helped her. Seeing the drawing broken down step by step made it easier to start, and she finished her own sketch in less than 20 minutes.
The next day, she asked me to do the same thing for 10 more images.
Doing this manually through ChatGPT was slow and required having good prompts, copy-pasting them around, and lots of babysitting. So I improved on those prompts and turned my workflow into a self-service app that she can use anytime.
She found it useful, so I figured others might find it useful too.
So here we are, and today I'm launching my first product here - it's called Rest of the Owl.
It turns any image into 5 pencil sketches, from basic shapes to fully detailed intermediate pencil drawing. Hopefully it helps others to learn, warm up, or to get past the blank page moment.
Please let me know what you think and if you have any questions, I am hanging out here in the comments!

Breaking down pics into step-by-step sketches is genius for getting past art block, tbh—I wish I had this back when I was learning to draw animals!
