Create Character Sheets with AI Character Sheet Maker
A character sheet generator that turns text descriptions into multi-view reference sheets. Describe your character, pick a style, and get a complete character sheet with front, side, and back views.
What Makes a Good Character Sheet
The four things we test for when building our character reference sheet tools.
Multi-View Accuracy
A character sheet needs consistent front, side, and back views. We test that proportions, facial features, and outfit details stay the same across every angle on the reference sheet.
Detail Preservation
Small details like accessories, hair strands, and color gradients should carry over to every view on the character sheet. We compare each view pixel by pixel for consistency.
Sheet Layout
A character reference sheet needs clean layout with enough spacing between views. We test that generated sheets follow standard turnaround sheet formats used by professional artists.
Style Range
Character sheets are needed across many art styles. We support 20+ styles from anime turnarounds to realistic model sheets, and each one follows the conventions of that style.
Character Sheets Built with Our Tool
Before-and-after examples showing how text descriptions become finished character reference sheets.
Text to Character Sheet
A text description of a fantasy warrior turned into a complete character reference sheet with three consistent views.
Sketch to Reference Sheet
A rough sketch uploaded as reference, expanded into a polished multi-view character sheet by the AI.
Single Image to Turnaround Sheet
One character image expanded into a full turnaround sheet with front, side, and back views while keeping all details consistent.
Style Transfer Sheet
Same character sheet regenerated in a different art style. The reference sheet keeps all proportions and details while adapting to the new style.

Character Sheet FAQ
Answers to common questions about creating character sheets and reference sheets with AI.
What is a character sheet?
A character sheet (also called a character reference sheet or turnaround sheet) is a document that shows a character from multiple angles, typically front, side, and back. Artists, game developers, and animators use character sheets to keep a character looking consistent across different illustrations, scenes, or 3D models.
What is the difference between a character sheet and a character reference sheet?
They are often used interchangeably. A character sheet usually refers to the multi-view turnaround showing front, side, and back angles. A character reference sheet can be broader, sometimes including expression sheets, outfit variations, or color palettes alongside the turnaround views.
Is the character sheet maker free?
You get a set number of free generations when you sign up. After that, paid plans unlock unlimited character sheet generations and higher resolution output. Check the pricing page for current plan details.
Can I use generated character sheets for commercial projects?
Yes. All character sheets you generate with CharacterGen belong to you. Use them for games, animation, commissions, merchandise, or any other project.
How many views does a character sheet include?
Our standard character sheet includes front, side, and back views. The AI keeps proportions, colors, and details consistent across all three angles so you get a usable turnaround reference.
Can I upload my own character image to create a reference sheet?
Yes. Upload any existing character image as a reference. The AI analyzes it and generates matching side and back views to complete the character sheet.
What art styles are supported for character sheets?
Over 20 styles including anime, realistic, cartoon, chibi, pixel art, fantasy illustration, and sci-fi concept art. Specify the style in your text prompt and the AI generates the character sheet in that style.
How long does it take to generate a character sheet?
Typically under 60 seconds. Multi-view character sheets with three angles take slightly longer than single-image generation. You can generate multiple variations and pick the best one.
Do I need drawing skills to create a character sheet?
No. Describe your character in text and the AI generates the full character reference sheet. You can optionally upload a rough sketch to guide the result, but it is not required.
Can I create character sheets for existing characters?
You can upload a reference image of any character you own and generate a turnaround sheet from it. The AI will produce matching multi-view angles based on your uploaded reference.
