Hand-drawn · Character action set
Hand-drawn character action set generator
Describe your subject and get character action sets in a hand-drawn look: sketchy ink lines, paper texture and a storybook feel. Each generation gives you one character performing several actions (idle, walk, attack, hurt by default) facing one direction, laid out as 4 action rows with a few frames per action, one character facing left or right. 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
- Default rows: idle, walk, attack and hurt (swap in run, jump or death)
- Each action on its own row, played back at 10 FPS
- One named animation per action in spritesheet.json
- PNG sheet, individual frames, GIF and a ZIP with spritesheet.json for game engines
Prompt tips
- List the actions you need in the form and keep the character description identical across regenerations for a consistent cast.
- 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 character action set?
Open the generator with Action Set mode and the Hand-drawn style selected, describe your subject (for example "a knight in blue armor with a red plume and a short sword") and generate. The sheet comes back as 4 action rows with a few frames per action, one character facing left or right, already split into frames.
How much does a character action set 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.
Can I use hand-drawn sprites from AI Spritesheet Maker in a commercial game?
Yes. Under the Terms of Service you get a license to use what you generate in your projects, including commercial games. You're responsible for making sure your prompts and references don't infringe anyone else's rights.
