Sketch Tutor

What it does

Most drawing apps give you generic subjects to copy, or AI "art generators" that draw for you. SketchTutor does neither — it teaches you to draw, using a photo of your choosing. Upload a photo and our AI transforms it into a clean pencil sketch and automatically breaks it into stages. You follow along with pencil and paper at your own pace. If Duolingo and a drawing tablet had a baby, it would look like this. Upload one photo and see what your hands can actually do.

Sketch Tutor turns your photos into beginner-friendly, step-by-step drawing lessons so you can learn to sketch portraits at your own pace.

  Convert sketches into images using ControlNet2023 · clio.so · ▲76

  Hi HN! We're working on an AI studio product, and have been experimenting with the recently-released ControlNet (https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet) After wasting hours with it, we decided to put together a quick fun project. "Sketch" allows you to draw anything (works w/ touch inputs on mobile too), enter a prompt (it can be as simple as "drawing" and it'll try to guess) and you get something out fast. Keeping it all on a public feed as well, to serve as inspiration. Hope anyone here finds it fun :-)

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
