Direct answer: Doodle sketch at doodleai.art turns your photo into a quick, sketchy hand-drawn doodle. Attach a clear photo, type a prompt in the box above, and run the Normal skill. Each image is 1 credit, refunded on failure, with free starter credits for new accounts.

A sketch is the fast, rough version — looser lines, less polish, more energy. Ask the Normal skill for that feel and it leans sketchier while still keeping your recognizable features.
