Watch your sketch become a painting, stroke by stroke

Read as Markdown

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Turn [my own sketch or image I may adapt] into a simulated painting whose making I can replay. Keep [recognizable features] and explore [visual direction] at [image dimensions], within [time or compute budget]. Preserve the reference and work in a new private folder. This is a digital brush-painting experiment, not a physical painting or a claim that the simulation reproduces real materials exactly.

First check whether an available tool supports actual scripted brushstrokes, a saved action log and replay. Identify its version, needed runtime and export format. Use an already available authorized tool; ask before installing software, adding an integration or using a paid service. If no suitable engine is available, return a clearly labeled setup brief and stop. Do not substitute a generated finished image and invent a brushstroke history for it.

Show a small palette and a rough composition for review. Explain which colors or effects the chosen engine cannot reproduce. Keep the project to a few useful stages: broad shapes, recognizable details and a finishing pass. At each stage, inspect the rendered canvas before choosing the next strokes. Preserve checkpoint images and a brief note about what changed, including mistakes and repairs. If the engine has no undo, retain overpainting as part of the history. Do not repeatedly regenerate the reference or erase failed attempts to make the process look cleaner.

Keep an ordered, editable stroke or command log together with the engine version, initial canvas, palette, brush settings and any seeds or other state needed to replay it. A prose explanation of brushwork is not a replay log. Save the final image directly from this session and make a contact sheet of the actual checkpoints. Let me compare the result with the reference and stop when the agreed budget is reached, even if some details remain rough.

Replay the saved log from its recorded starting state and compare the final frame with the delivered still. Check dimensions, missing assets and any random or timing-dependent differences. Record the comparison method and observed mismatches; do not claim identical replay unless checked. If replay fails, preserve the original session and identify the missing state instead of fabricating intermediate images. Keep any later edit as a separately named version, so the original process remains available.

Return the final still, editable log and required assets, palette, checkpoint sheet, opening/replay instructions and an honest check report. An optional replay video should come from those saved actions, not newly invented stages. Keep my reference and results private; do not upload, publish or spend beyond the agreed budget without asking.
