Adding characters to your coloring book helps create a more engaging and consistent experience for young readers. Whether you’re creating a book around animals, people, fantasy creatures, or custom characters, you can define the characters you want to appear throughout the book and use them across multiple pages. This makes it easier to maintain a cohesive theme and gives your coloring book a unique personality.
After describing your coloring book, you’ll be presented with two character creation options. The first, “Let AI Design the Book,” allows the AI to automatically create characters that fit your coloring book’s theme and incorporate them throughout the pages.

The second option, “Add Characters,” allows you to customize the characters featured in your coloring book. You can create new characters from scratch or choose from characters you’ve previously saved in your Character Library.

To manually create characters, click on "Add a Character."

You will have the option to "Generate with AI" or "Add Manually."
