Features & Capabilities

Artomaton is an AI-powered artist that transforms your photos and videos into painterly artwork and hand-drawn animations. Using advanced AI analysis, it applies sketching or painting effects and renders textures that mimic oil paints and paper, while letting you save the drawing/painting process as a video for easy sharing.

Choose from a range of tools and canvases, adjust thinness and density of strokes, tweak margins, brightness, contrast, saturation, and color randomness, and control the lighting angle. The app supports a full-screen, touch-driven workflow and lets you save unfinished work to continue later, making it a flexible tool for creative exploration and content creation.

User Reviews

Reviews praise easy, intuitive use, high‑res outputs, and strong photo/video‑to‑art/ storyboard capabilities with real‑time preview. Repeated drawbacks include watercolor realism issues, monetization through subscriptions/locked styles, stability problems (crashes), lack of a desktop version, and update changes that degrade textures or lock features.

Pros

Easy to use with an intuitive UI, accessible for beginners
High‑resolution outputs with frame‑rate control for quality renders
Strong photo/video‑to‑art capabilities and useful for storyboarding/film work
Real‑time preview/creation that lets you see effects build as you work
Realistic pencil/crosshatch style options praised by some reviewers

Cons

Watercolor and painting realism are not faithful to real media (oil‑like look, lack of pooling/transparent edges)
Monetization and gating (subscription for presets, locked styles, perceived high cost)
Stability issues (crashes, black canvas or neural glitches, especially at higher settings)
No desktop version / cross‑platform limitations (desire for a desktop app)
Updates that degrade textures or lock features (changes to styles, texture quality, or accessibility)

—————————————— 06 Mar 2024 ——————————————— Artomaton is now a bit beyond version 3 after almost 10 years in development and AI is no where in sight. Watercolor is totally off showing brush strokes and no pooling at all making it more like oil paint. No acrylics. Pencils (color & black) do not look real at all with ugly control of the length and multiple direction of cross hatching. Video speed is cool; but, it discloses just how inaccurate things like watercolor is. The app is a mess, simply put, with little intrinsic value due to how fake things look. The thing is, most “AI” proclaimed image painting apps are like this. They are more or less, image filters that have some control over a filter that bore or less produces a reprint in a specific style that is far from a real world image resulting from sketching, painting, pastel work, etc. No ink either. If you want an app that alters a picture to make it look different that it really is … this would be okay. But if you want a paint, sketch, ink, drawing program, this one really falls short because you are not drawing or painting. It is sad that the app is so un-AI, inaccurate, and unrealistic. Paying to be able to store presets is just a slap in the face.
