Most AI tools give you a new face every time you hit generate. DrawStory locks your character's identity once and holds it across every storyboard panel, every camera angle, every scene. Describe. Lock. Storyboard. Done.

The Problem
You build a 30-panel storyboard. Your lead has brown eyes in the wide shot, blue eyes in the close-up, and a completely different jawline by the third scene. The client notices. The director notices. The board loses credibility before anyone discusses the actual shots.
This happens because most AI image generators treat every prompt as a fresh start. There is no memory, no reference, no thread connecting frame 1 to frame 30. Manual model sheets solve this, but they take days — multiply that by five characters and you've burned a week before the first storyboard panel exists.
Definition
A character sheet pins down exactly what a character looks like — face shape, body type, outfit, hair, posture, distinguishing marks. In production it's called a model sheet, and every department works from it so the character stays on-model from the first storyboard panel to the final render.
An AI character sheet does the same thing without the illustrator. Describe the character in text, or upload a reference image. DrawStory generates the visual identity and locks it into a reusable profile — every frame you generate afterward pulls from that locked profile instead of starting from zero.

How It Works
From a text description or reference photo to a full production-ready storyboard - without touching the character sheet twice.
Describe or Upload
Write a character description or drop in a reference photo. Height, build, hair, outfit, age, expression — the more specific you are, the sharper the lock.
Lock the Identity
Approve the look. Drawstory saves that face, body, outfit, and proportions as an identity profile every future panel references.
Generate Your Storyboard
Upload a script or write scene descriptions. Drawstory identifies which characters belong in each shot and places them into sequenced panels with the locked identity applied.
Edit Without Starting Over
Need a wardrobe change or a new hairstyle after the time jump? Update the profile and Drawstory regenerates every affected panel — the identity holds.
Why DrawStory
Most AI character sheet tools stop at the reference: a front view, a side view, a download button. Drawstory treats the character sheet as the first step in a production pipeline - the locked identity feeds directly into a full storyboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about building identity-locked character sheets with DrawStory.
A character sheet, also called a model sheet, is a reference document that shows a character from multiple angles with notes on proportions, wardrobe, and distinguishing features. Production departments use it to keep the character on-model from pre-production through post.
Drawstory saves each character as an identity-locked profile. Every time that character appears in a new storyboard panel, the AI references the same profile - face, body, outfit, and proportions stay identical regardless of shot type, angle, or scene context.
Yes. The turnaround views (front, side, three-quarter) work as reference material for rigging and modeling pipelines. Export the sheet and hand it directly to your animation team.
No. Describe the character in plain text or upload a reference photo. Drawstory generates the full sheet from that input - you approve and refine with words, not pencils.
Most generators produce a static turnaround and stop. Drawstory carries the locked character into a full storyboard sequence - it's the first step in a pipeline that ends with a production-ready board.
Get Started
