From Stick Figures To AI Art

Whether you can't draw a straight line, or you've never had the time to learn, keep reading…

The best explainer videos usually have:

A hand sketching on a whiteboard

Arrows connecting the ideas

A little drawing for every point

Someone who can actually draw

It's normal to skip that last one, talk over a few slides instead, or never make the video at all.

I did too. I used to doodle in class all the time, and I was unbelievably bad at it. The scene in my head was detailed. What made it onto paper was 3 stick figures and a tree.

Then I asked AI to draw it for me…

A drawing makes an idea easy to follow

There's a reason teachers reach for the whiteboard.

When you draw while you explain, the viewer watches the idea get built 1 line at a time. They don't have to imagine it. They see it arrive.

That works for a lesson, and it works for explaining your service, your process or your price.

For most of us, the idea was never the problem. The hand was.

You don't have to become an artist.

You just get to explain like one.

In 2026, AI can turn a sentence into a drawing in seconds.

To create a whiteboard video, you could:

• Write the script
• Sketch every scene, or pay an illustrator
• Animate a hand drawing each one
• Line every drawing up with your voice

Or, you could let Storytime do all of it for you.

So why isn't everyone doing it?

Because "sketch every scene" assumes you can draw.

And "line every drawing up with your voice" is where the evening goes. Every sketch gets timed to the sentence it belongs to, and every change to the script means doing it again.

So the people who could explain their work best on a whiteboard never make the video. They'd have to draw it first.

That's the part we built Storytime to remove.

You open Storytime, pick Drawing for your visuals, choose what it's drawn on (a whiteboard, a blackboard, pencil on paper), and just talk. When you want something on the board, say it: "Draw a dog riding a motorcycle."

No drawing skills. Storytime sketches the idea in each line, and when you say "draw a…", it draws exactly what you asked for.

No animating. A hand draws every picture as you say it, timed to your voice, with subtitles added for you.

You say what you see. Storytime draws it.

❌ You don't need to draw.

❌ You don't need an illustrator.

✅ You just need to say what you see.

Pick 1 idea you'd explain to a client on a whiteboard, give Storytime a try, and let it draw what you say 🚀
