Prompt Skill Building

How your sketches guide AI

Your sketch provides the foundation that Vizcom builds upon. The clearer your sketch, the better Vizcom can interpret your intent.

In Vizcom, your sketch is more than just a rough starting point. It acts as the structural foundation for the AI’s interpretation. While your prompt adds context, materials, and rendering style, the sketch carries the core of your visual thinking. The clearer and more intentional your drawing is, the more effectively the AI can align with your design intent.

The AI treats your sketch as a blueprint, using it to determine form, proportions, layout, and perspective. Depending on how much influence you assign to the sketch, Vizcom will either closely follow or loosely interpret the visual cues you provide. Regardless of the influence setting, strong sketches offer essential guidance and reduce ambiguity in the final output.

Here are a few key sketch components that shape how Vizcom responds:

Line quality

Clean, confident lines indicate clear decisions about form and structure. These are more likely to be preserved in the AI’s output. Sketchy or overlapping lines suggest ambiguity and may encourage the AI to fill in gaps creatively or reinterpret the design.

Example:
A precisely drawn oval for a watch face will be maintained. A loosely sketched, jagged circle might result in varied or unintended forms in the render.

Detail level

The more detail you include in certain areas, the more likely Vizcom is to treat those zones as intentional. High-detail regions are interpreted as areas of focus or specificity, while vague or simplified zones are treated with more flexibility.

Example:
In a sneaker sketch, a clearly drawn tread pattern may be preserved, while a loosely indicated heel might be reimagined depending on the prompt.

View angles

The perspective or angle from which you draw your object is typically carried into the final output. Unless your prompt explicitly instructs Vizcom to reinterpret the viewpoint, the system assumes your sketch’s perspective is intentional.

Example:
If you sketch a side profile of a bicycle, Vizcom will usually render the object from that same side unless told otherwise.

Proportions

Relative scale and spacing in your sketch play a significant role in shaping the final design. Vizcom uses your proportions as a guide unless the prompt strongly contradicts them.

Example:
If your sketch of a toothbrush has an elongated handle and a small brush head, Vizcom will generally preserve that ratio, reflecting your intent to emphasize ergonomics or grip.

Case example: toothbrush sketch

In the case of an electric toothbrush sketch, your drawing communicates more than just the object. It tells the AI how long the handle should be, how curved the form is, where the brush head is placed, and whether the lines are tight and purposeful or loose and suggestive. A clear, proportionally accurate sketch will help Vizcom produce a result that matches your original design intent, while still allowing the prompt to guide materials, color, and lighting.

Summary

Your sketch is a powerful tool in shaping AI-assisted design. It speaks the visual language that Vizcom reads first, even before interpreting the written prompt. By drawing with clarity, intention, and attention to key design elements, you keep authorship over the final result and ensure that AI functions as a responsive creative partner rather than a random image generator.
