Sample character loaded. Select a panel to begin.

Live sheet preview

Select or drag artwork on the canvas; draw annotations without changing the original.

Editable

Artwork, sketches and projects remain in your browser. This is a sheet composer and annotation editor—not an AI image generator. Upload your own consistent illustrations for best results.

Export and save

Production-ready sheet artwork or an editable project.

PNG includes all imported artwork and sketch annotations. Project JSON embeds uploaded images, so it can be large. Printing uses your browser's built-in PDF printer.

How to create a consistent model sheet

01 · Define

Write a character brief, proportions, personality, design notes and reusable palette.

02 · Assemble

Upload matching turnarounds, add expressions and detail close-ups. Adjust framing and sketch annotations.

03 · Share

Export a high-resolution PNG or print a PDF; save JSON to return to the editable design later.

Model sheets for illustrators, animators and storytellers

Character turnarounds help teams maintain silhouette, outfit, facial proportions and colors across scenes. PixelOkay brings the reference material into one organized layout: front, side and back poses, six expressions, prop and costume close-ups, palette samples and design notes.

Can I draw a full character from scratch?

You can annotate or sketch directly on a panel using the drawing tool and upload any existing illustrations. This version does not generate new consistent poses from a single reference image.

Can I save and reopen my work?

Yes. Download your editable project JSON and import it on another visit. Uploaded images are stored inside the JSON project file, not sent to a backend.

Can I create a printable character sheet?

Yes. Export a PNG at up to 3200 × 2240 pixels or choose Print / Save as PDF and select your browser's PDF printer.

Is it affiliated with any drawing software?

No. This is an original browser-based PixelOkay reference sheet composition tool.

Arrange artwork into a character model sheet

Use the Kael example or start with your own drawings, then place supplied artwork into 13 reference panels. Adjust framing, mirroring, opacity and sketch notes to keep a turnaround, expression and detail sheet organized.

Example workflow

  1. Open the example or begin blank, then load artwork you have permission to use into the reference panels.
  2. Adjust each image’s framing and opacity, add sketch notes and review the palette.
  3. Export the full sheet or selected panels as PNG, download the palette CSV or save an embedded project.

Authored example: Assemble a fictional character’s front, side and expression references with one detail image. Compare the proportions across panels before saving the sheet and palette.

Limits and privacy: The tool arranges supplied artwork; it does not generate poses or a 3D model. Input, decoded-image and project budgets apply. JSON embeds artwork, and export waits for required images. Print/Save PDF opens the browser print dialog, whose layout and fonts vary by device.
