Was the best you could muster at art class a smiley face on a tree-trunk body? For better or for worse, subpar drawing skills are no longer a setback in the wild, wild world of automation. Stability AI, the maker of the renowned AI art generator Stable Diffusion, has unveiled Stable Doodle, a sketch-to-image artificial intelligence tool that simplifies the process of transforming basic drawings into dynamic images.
Stable Doodle—available for free on the web via Clipdrop, an image-editing platform founded by ex-Googlers and acquired by Stability AI this year—allows individuals to scribble objects using their mouse, enter a prompt, and choose from a selection of art styles… and with a simple click of a button, witness their creation transform into a visually striking graphic.

You can select from 14 aesthetic types, ranging from realistic photography, cinematic themes, and creative fantasy art to origami-inspired designs, and watch your scratchy Microsoft Paint-style skills evolve before your eyes. Though, Stability AI points out that Stable Doodle can be handy for creative professionals too, allowing them to save time by seamlessly integrating their sketches into various projects, whether for presentations, websites, or logo creation.

The results might be impressive, but Stable Doodle is no miracle-maker. The creators stress that the tool has its “inherent limitations,” and “the final output is dependent on the initial drawing and description provided by the user.” In other words, having two left hands might not get you an art career.
Nevertheless, you can give Stable Doodle a go here.
