## 3. Creative & Production Workflows

### 3.1 Hand-Drawn Sketch to Finished Masterpiece
Users outline their concept on the interactive HTML5 canvas. The AI analyzes line contours, skeletal geometry, and color hints, replacing rough doodles with polished, professional artwork according to the chosen style while preserving the user's spatial structure.

### 3.2 The 4-Step User Workflow
1. **Sketch**: Draw an outline with smooth variable-width brushes, eraser, and color wheels. Alternatively, import a photo, transparent PNG asset, or record a 10-second reference video clip.
2. **Generate**: Select a visual style (e.g. Cartoon, Anime, Stencil, Chrome) and a projection surface (Tablet, Brick Wall, Canvas, Sneaker). Adjust the Artist Scale slider between Refined (clean vector) and Street (gritty urban) and tap Generate (automatically defaulting to Nano Banana 2.1 when video references are attached).
3. **Refine & Edit**: Tap "Edit" to stamp the generated image back onto the canvas. Draw additional elements, fix lines, or add new layers and re-render.
4. **Export & Print**: Tap "Save" to download a high-resolution PNG (with optional 1-click white background removal) or tap "Order Print Online" to send the design directly to localized merchandise printing.

### 3.3 Surface & Texture Projection
- **Digital Studio (`tablet`)**: Pure RGB vector-style export on a flat white background. Ideal for stickers, avatars, and graphic assets.
- **Stretched Art Canvas (`canvas`)**: Realistic woven cotton art canvas texture, perfect for portraits and painterly artwork.
- **High-Top Leather Sneaker (`sneaker`)**: Side-profile streetwear shoe mockup, automatically conforming designs across leather panels, ankle collar, and midsole.
- **Exposed Red Brick Wall (`brickwall`)**: Photorealistic masonry relief and mortar lines for authentic street graffiti, tags, and urban murals.

### 3.4 Direct On-Demand Merchandise Printing (Zazzle Integration)
VibePaint.ai connects directly with localized Zazzle portals across 16+ international domains (USA, Australia, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, etc.). Users can turn their custom sketches into physical t-shirts, hoodies, posters, mugs, and stickers fulfilled in their home region.

### 3.5 Multimodal Reference Assets & Assets Camera
VibePaint.ai allows compositing up to 14 reference assets categorized into Characters (up to 5), Objects (up to 10), and Others.
- **10-Second Video References**: Users can upload or record 10-second video files (WebM/MP4, max 20MB). Nano Banana 2.1 natively analyzes character expressions, motion, and styling directly from the video stream to guide the rendering.
- **Integrated Assets Camera**: Built-in camera interface allowing instant photo snaps or 10-second video filming. Includes an active countdown timer, an animated encoding screen with progress bars, and an immediate looping playback screen awaiting user confirmation before committing to creative assets.
