Hand-drawn · Sprite animation

Hand-drawn sprite animation generator

Describe your subject and get sprite animations in a hand-drawn look: sketchy ink lines, paper texture and a storybook feel. Each generation gives you any single animation you can describe, laid out on a grid you choose, laid out as a grid of up to 5×5 frames (3×3 by default). It's a good fit for narrative games, cozy games and prototypes that should look intentionally sketchy.

Examples from the gallery

Real sheets from the public gallery made with these settings.

What you get

  • Your prompt, your layout: pick rows and columns up to 5×5
  • Frames play left to right, top to bottom at 8 FPS
  • Optional Pro Motion: video-based animation for smoother motion (3 credits)
  • PNG sheet, individual frames, GIF and a ZIP with spritesheet.json for game engines

Prompt tips

  • Describe one motion from start to finish ("crouch, leap, land"); clear beats give the frames a readable arc.
  • Mention the medium ("ink and wash", "pencil sketch") and keep backgrounds out of the prompt so frames stay clean.

Use it in your engine

Every export is a uniform grid with frame rectangles and FPS in spritesheet.json.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a hand-drawn sprite animation?

Open the generator with Creative mode and the Hand-drawn style selected, describe your subject (for example "a fox jumping over a log, side view") and generate. The sheet comes back as a grid of up to 5×5 frames (3×3 by default), already split into frames.

How much does a sprite animation cost?

A Standard generation costs 1 credit, and new accounts get 3 free credits. Pro Motion, the video-based animation option for Creative mode, costs 3 credits.

What files do I get?

Every sheet exports as a PNG sprite sheet on a uniform grid, as individual frame PNGs, as an animated GIF, and as a ZIP that adds spritesheet.json (frame rectangles, named animations and FPS) and metadata.json (cell size, rows and columns). Step-by-step import guides cover Godot, Unity and GameMaker.
