Draw a lightbulb and finish it in your browser

Describe the lightbulb you want in Morphic's Image tool, from a coiled filament study behind glass to a flat outline for an icon, and get a finished drawing back. Set the glass reflections, the filament shape, the line weight and the paper, adjust it on the Canvas, then download it in HD.

FAQs

How do I draw a lightbulb so the glass looks transparent?
Leave hard white highlights as untouched paper rather than drawing them in, and let the filament and the base outline show faintly through the glass. Transparency reads from what you can see behind the object, not from shading.
How do I draw the filament inside a bulb?
Draw the two support wires rising from the base first, then loop the coil between them. Ask for a coil that tightens toward the middle. A filament floating with no visible supports is the usual giveaway that a bulb drawing was guessed.
How do I show a lightbulb glowing without it looking like clipart?
Work the surroundings dark and let the bulb stay pale, rather than adding rays around it. If you do want rays, keep them to three or four short even strokes. Long spiky bursts are what make the stock versions unusable.
Can I get a lightbulb icon or outline for a slide?
Ask for flat vector line art with an even stroke, no shading and a plain white background. That version scales down to an icon slot without the base ribbing and filament closing up into a smudge.
How do I draw the screw base so it reads as metal?
Ask for the thread as a continuous spiral rather than stacked rings, and shade the base a step darker than the glass with one sharp highlight down one side. Metal reads by having the hardest contrast in the drawing.
Can I draw a set of bulbs in one consistent style?
Yes. Use Style Transfer to hold the medium and line weight, then generate a round bulb, a teardrop and a long tube separately. Only the shape changes in the prompt, so the set reads as one sheet.
