Anime illustration of an original character: a young woman who repairs bicycles, with a short dark green bob haircut, round thin-framed glasses, a small bandage on her left cheek, a white t-shirt and orange work overalls with the top half tied around her waist, and a wrench in her back pocket. She stands in a three-quarter view in front of a small bike repair shop with its roll-up door open, holding a bicycle inner tube over one shoulder and grinning. Clean even line art, flat cel shading with hard two-tone shadows, bright clear afternoon colors, a simple blue sky. No text, no signs, no logos.
The same selfie, redrawn. Press the corner to see the photo.
Photo to animeTurn a photo into anime
Add the photo as a reference and ask for an anime redraw. Drag across each one. The same prompt went to both models.
Photo
Model
Image generator default. Keeps more of the real face and the photo's detail. Pick it when the people should recognise themselves.
Prompt
Redraw this photo as a 2D anime illustration, not a painting and not a realistic portrait. Give both women anime features: larger expressive eyes, simplified noses, clean black line art, flat cel shading with hard two-tone shadows. Keep who they are: one with long black box braids, gold hoops and a rust-orange satin shirt, one with long wavy copper red hair, freckles and a black denim jacket over a white tank top, both laughing and holding iced coffees, leaning into each other for the selfie. Keep the rooftop, the water towers and the sunset city behind them, with a soft painted orange sky. No text.

Make four, keep one
Ask for up to four images in one run, pick the best, and change one thing at a time.
Anime stylesOne character, six ways to draw her
The first picture came from a sentence. The other five used it as a reference, so only the drawing changes.
TV cel
Hard two-tone shadows, even lines, bright flat color. The first image, made from text alone.
Prompt
Anime illustration of an original character: a young woman who repairs bicycles, with a short dark green bob haircut, round thin-framed glasses, a small bandage on her left cheek, a white t-shirt and orange work overalls with the top half tied around her waist, and a wrench in her back pocket. She stands in a three-quarter view in front of a small bike repair shop with its roll-up door open, holding a bicycle inner tube over one shoulder and grinning. Clean even line art, flat cel shading with hard two-tone shadows, bright clear afternoon colors, a simple blue sky. No text, no signs, no logos.
Words for anime promptsName the drawing, not the show
Describe how the picture is drawn. Each word below is cut from a picture on this page, with the phrase its prompt used.
Cel shading
Each color gets one shadow tone with a sharp edge, like a painted animation cel.
“flat cel shading with hard two-tone shadows”
Screentone
Greys made of printed dots, the way black-and-white manga is shaded.
“screentone dot shading”
Watercolor background
A soft painted world behind a cleanly drawn character.
“background painted in soft watercolor with visible paper texture”
Rim light
A bright edge where light from behind catches the hair and shoulders.
“strong rim light outlining her hair and shoulder from behind”
Film grain
The noise and slightly smudged color of an old broadcast.
“slight film grain and soft color bleed”
Speed lines
Straight lines that rush out from a point to show motion or shock.
“speed lines behind her”
Chibi proportions
A small, cute version of a character, often for stickers and emotes.
“a head about as big as her body, tiny hands and feet”
Glossy anime eyes
Big eyes with bright highlights. It works on pets too.
“big round glossy eyes with two white highlights each”
Anime character generatorKeep the same character in every picture
Add the first image as a reference and ask for a character sheet. Then add the image and the sheet whenever she goes somewhere new.
Sheet prompt
A character reference sheet for this same character on a plain light grey background. On the left, three full-body views standing in a row: front, side and back. On the right, three head close-ups: happy, surprised and annoyed. Same face, hair, glasses, cheek bandage and outfit in every view, with the wrench in her back pocket. Clean line art, flat cel shading. No text, no labels, no color swatches.
Scene prompt
Use the character from these two images, with the same face, hair, glasses, cheek bandage and outfit. Draw her crouched beside an upside-down bicycle under a shop awning on a rainy night, fixing the chain by the light of a small work lamp on the ground. Rain falls past the awning, the wet street reflects warm shop light and cool blue light from a vending machine, and a stray cat watches from a dry step. Wide cinematic anime shot, clean line art, cel shading, deep blue night colors. No text, no readable signs, no logos.
Anime videoThen make it move
Add a picture as the first frame in the video generator and say what happens next. The first frame sets the character, her clothes and the light.
Motion prompt
The girl from the first frame speeds down the steep hill road toward the sea on her bicycle, leaning low over the handlebars, her green hair, the inner tube and the tied orange sleeves whipping back in the wind, as power lines, the guardrail and small houses rush past. Hand-drawn anime with clean line art and cel shading, bright summer light. Low tracking shot racing alongside her from start to end, ending on her grinning as the blue bay opens up below. No narration.

Before you make oneAI anime questions
Plans start at $19 a month. At 1K and low quality, an image from text costs 1 credit, so the Creator plan's 500 credits make up to 500 portraits. At the default 2K and high quality, a 4:5 image costs 4 credits and a square one costs 6. Adding your photo as a reference adds about 3 credits, so a 4:5 photo redraw costs 7.
Open the image generator, add your photo as a reference image, and ask it to redraw the photo as a 2D anime illustration. Say what to keep, like the hair, the clothes and the place. Or open the photo in the image editor and type the same request.
Try both on the same photo. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst keeps more of the real face. Nano Banana 2.1 draws further from the photo and looks more like a show. Every pair on this page used one prompt on both.
Any look you can describe. This page shows TV cel shading, a watercolor film look, retro cel with film grain, black-and-white manga, chibi stickers and painted covers. There are no style presets; the words in your prompt set the style.
Describe the drawing instead of naming it: the line weight, the shading, the palette and the background. That gets you the look you mean. Characters from existing shows belong to their owners, so make your own.
Yes. Make one image you like, then ask for a character sheet with front, side and back views. Add both as reference images for every new scene. You can add up to 16 references.
Yes. Every paid plan includes commercial use, and images download without a watermark.
Yes. Add an image as the first frame in the video generator and describe the motion. The AI anime video generator page shows how.
A clear, well-lit photo where faces are not covered. Group photos work, as the rooftop selfie on this page shows. Check every face afterwards, because the model can change small details.
Your photos and images stay in your Sceneform library while your account is active, and for 365 days after a subscription ends. You can delete them at any time. Sceneform does not sell them and does not use them to train AI models. To make an image, the photo goes to the company that runs the model, under its own terms.
