The Secret to Consistent Characters in Your AI Storyboards

You’ve got your lead.
She’s a badass detective — trench coat, clean-shaven head, and a gaze that could cut steel.

But wait… what’s happening?

She’s blonde in one shot, has a ponytail in the next, and shows up in full medieval armor later?

That’s not a plot twist. That’s just a broken workflow.

Let’s fix that.

🎯 Why Character Consistency Matters

Your audience connects with characters visually first — especially in a storyboard.
When those characters change appearance mid-scene, it doesn’t just confuse the viewer. It breaks immersion.

Inconsistent faces, hairstyles, or outfits can pull a producer or investor out of the experience you’re trying to sell.

The good news?
AI storyboards can be consistent — if you know what you’re doing.

✅5 Tips for Locking in Consistency with Storyboarder.ai

1. Start with a strong character description.
Be specific. Not “young woman.”
Instead: 👉 “Young South Asian woman, clean-shaven head, wearing a beige trench coat, intense gaze.”

This gives the AI anchors to build from.

2. Use a reference image.
Upload a clear portrait once. Use it as a visual foundation.
Re-use it across scenes for stability.

3. Use scene-specific clothes and accessories.
Ever saw a character wearing the same outfit in every scene? Yes, can happen – but if you want to be precise, use the „Clothes & Accessories“ section to define scene-specific outfit and appearances.

4. Use ‘Variation’ & ‚Retry“.
Retry gives you a new version with some new AI creativity.
Variation gives you refinement. Type in:

“Same woman, trench coat a bit darker, now in a wide shot.”

That’s how you keep the thread running.

5. Finetune Your Characters with InEdit Features.
Character has a ponytail again? Just remove it with the Eraser-Tool.
A hat is missing? Use InPaint and add it back to the character.
The shirt below the trench coat has the wrong color? Mark the area and repaint it correctly.

💡 Pro Hack: Use Sketch or Image Upload as Your Base

Want ultimate control over a pose, angle, or layout?

Use Sketch-to-Image or Image-to-Image upload features.
Draw it, pose it, or build it — and then let AI bring it to life, while keeping your character intact.

This gives you director-level control without needing a whole art department.
