Make a Doodle — Make One From Your Photo in Seconds

Direct answer: To make a doodle at doodleai.art, sign in with Google, attach a photo, type a prompt in the box above, and run the Normal skill. You get one square hand-drawn doodle per run for 1 credit, refunded on failure, and new accounts start with free starter credits.

“Make a doodle” is about as plain a request as it gets, and the tool keeps it that way. There’s no canvas to learn and no menu to master — you point at a photo, say a few words, and a doodle comes back. That is the whole loop.

The simplest way to make one

Making a doodle is really three moves: attach a photo, describe it briefly, generate. The Normal skill turns your photo into a square doodle in the house style — bold outlines, flat color, warm-white background — keeping the features that make the subject recognizable.

A prompt to make your first one

Make a doodle of me. Keep the glasses and the short hair. Flat color, no text, warm-white background.

Short and specific works best. Name a couple of features and let the model handle the rest.
