Characters are at the heart of every great coloring book, and with ColorBurst, bringing them to life is simple and fun. Whether you’re creating playful puppies, friendly dinosaurs, or magical fairies, ColorBurst lets you design unique characters with names, personalities, and visual references that make each page engaging for kids.
ColorBurst will generate character suggestions tailored to your prompt, helping you bring your coloring books to life with relevant and engaging personalities.
To ensure accurate and high-quality illustrations in your coloring book, each character should have an associated image. If a character doesn’t have an image, the pop-up below will appear before if you click on "Continue to Design."
Click on the ellipsis menu on the right hand side of each character to "Edit details", "Add to library" once the character is associated with an image or "Remove character."
When you navigate to “Edit Details,” the character’s information will be prefilled based on your prompt. You can customize your character by editing details such as their name, role, gender, age, description and add visual traits to shape their personality and relevance to your coloring book.
Need help with your character’s description? Use the “Generate” option, and ColorBurst will create a character description for you!
When filling out the character description and visual traits field, don’t hold back on the details! The more information you provide such as their appearance, clothing, setting, and mood, the more accurate and creative your generated images will be. Think of it as painting a picture with words.
This visual traits are automatically pulled into the "Generate Image" modal, and expanding it will help bring your vision to life.
