One UI 6.1.1 is now rolling out to more devices, and with it comes a new powerful Galaxy AI tool called Sketch to Image. It consists of two components, one of which lets you create AI drawings from scratch.
All you need to use this tool is a desire to doodle on your Galaxy device using your fingertip or S Pen. The AI will then interpret your drawing in different styles, such as ‘Illustration,’ ‘Sketch,’ ‘Watercolor,’ and so on.
Sketch to Image is fun and produces some amazing results
As One UI 6.1.1 reaches more Samsung fans, we took this Sketch to Image component for a test drive. We ended up having way more fun than expected. Not every doodle was a hit. But most results were at least satisfactory or just good enough to put a smile on our faces.
We decided to share many of our results with our readers to give them an idea of what the tool can do. Below are a handful of image galleries of different drawings and styles generated with Sketch to Image from basic doodles. And don’t forget to join us after the break for a peak behind the curtains.
All of these drawings were created using Sketch to Image on a Galaxy S24+ without an S Pen, so the original doodles were quite rough. More on that later.
Sketch to Image handles landscapes and structures particularly well
One thing we noticed—and we’ll discuss this in greater detail in an upcoming Sketch to Image review—is that the AI can handle landscapes and structures with a lot more ease than most other objects and scenes.
For landscapes and structures, the AI doesn’t need more than a tiny amount of detail and perspective to create beautiful landscape images. Here are a couple of examples that include the original drawing and three results in different styles.
As you can see, the AI is very intuitive when it comes to landscapes and buildings. It’s enough to draw rough suggestions of mountains, trees, rivers, streets, or structures to get some really cool results from the AI, especially if you are at least minimally mindful of proportions and perspective.
Again, all of these Sketch to Image drawings were done on a Galaxy S24+ without an S Pen. Needless to say, the fingertip isn’t a precise tool for drawing. Using something like an S Pen on a Galaxy tablet or a Galaxy Z Fold with a bigger screen could yield even better results.
In any case, we hope we’ve shown you that, even without the S Pen, you can give the Sketch to Image AI enough information to work with and generate attractive pieces.
