Astra Draws Stunning Illustrations Stroke by Stroke, Not Generated
Tolopono · reddit · 2026-09-05
Reddit user Tolopono compiled several demos of Astra drawing illustrations stroke by stroke, rather than generating images in one shot — calling the results "genuinely insane."
The post links to four demos: videos from X users iamzachi, viticci, and qibizme, plus a TypingMind session replay showing the full drawing process. The counterintuitive part is that an agent is operating drawing tools like a human artist, instead of a diffusion model outputting a finished image.
