Photosynthesis animation
Watch photosynthesis drawn step by step: sunlight on the leaves, water rising from the roots, carbon dioxide going in and oxygen coming out, and the glucose the plant makes. A hand-drawn whiteboard animation video made from one illustration.

The picture it starts from
This finished illustration is all the drawing started from. Upload a picture like it and Studio draws it stroke by stroke; we don't generate pictures from text.

The prompt behind the picture
Hand-drawn diagram of photosynthesis: a leafy plant in soil, the sun shining onto its leaves, water drops rising from the roots up the stem, carbon dioxide molecules (a grey ball between two red balls) flowing into a leaf, oxygen molecules (two red balls) flowing out, a small glucose ring inside a leaf. Coloured pencil and watercolour marker, clean black ink outlines, warm off-white paper, no text.The picture came from an image model; any finished illustration works the same way, including one you drew. Use the prompt as a starting point for your own topic.
Photosynthesis, step by step
A script to read over it, timed to the drawing: the lines go down first and the colour arrives on the last beat.
- 0:00Line artPlants make their own food. All they need is light, water and air.
- 0:09Sunlight falls on the leaves, and the green chlorophyll inside captures its energy.
- 0:19The roots draw water from the soil, up the stem to the leaves.
- 0:29The leaves take in carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores.
- 0:39ColourWith the sun’s energy, the plant turns water and carbon dioxide into glucose, the sugar it grows on.
- 0:50And it gives off oxygen: the air we breathe.
Where this photosynthesis animation fits
Use it as a photosynthesis video for a biology lesson, to explain light, water and carbon dioxide going in and glucose and oxygen coming out, or in a video about plants and the climate. The same process turns your own diagram into a clip.
