You can get a mosaic cartoon without a photo: describe the subject in words, pick a style and the panel size, and the ANDAMENTO AI generator draws a mosaic sketch. The styles follow historical techniques: Opus Tessellatum with even rows of tesserae, Opus Incertum of irregular stones, Byzantine mosaic with a gold ground, plus trencadís, marquetry and Soviet monumental smalti.
Describe what is shown: the main subject, the background, the mood and the main colours — for example, “a peacock among leaves, gold background, blue and emerald tones”. There is no need to describe the technique or material: the chosen style sets them.
Opus Tessellatum is ancient mosaic of small square tesserae laid in even rows along the outlines. Opus Incertum uses large irregular stones and a dense texture. Byzantine is smalti with a gold ground and rich colour, as in the mosaics of Ravenna and Constantinople.
The sketch sets the composition, colours and laying pattern — a mosaicist lays the mosaic from it, matching smalti to the colours. The calculator estimates materials for a panel of the size you need.
