# My Visual Styles

> Build your own art direction from a description, test it on real scenes, and use it for every AI-generated scene.

Crealix has 38 ready-made visual styles. When you want a look that's yours alone, build it in **Settings › My Visual Styles** and click **New style**.

The builder has three steps (①) and **saves as you go**, so you can close it and come back later.

**1. Describe**

Give it a **name** (e.g. *Soft Clay*) and **describe the look** in your own words (③) — for example *"Stop-motion claymation, warm afternoon light, pastel palette, fingerprints visible in the clay"*. The chips add a **medium**, **palette**, **light**, **texture** or **mood**, and **Improve** refines your description.

Optionally add a **reference image** from your uploads, or **start from** one of the library styles (④).

**2. Build and test**

Click **Build style** (⑤) — it's free. Then click **Test style** (⑥) to paint four sample scenes in the workbench (②) — a **hero**, a **person**, a **place** and an **object** — with the same model that paints your videos. Each test costs **1 credit**. Adjust the description and test again until it's right.

**3. Save**

Pick the cover image and click **Save style** (⑧). The checklist (⑦) shows *Built*, *Tested* and *Cover chosen*.

Your styles appear under **My Styles** in every visual style picker. Set one as the default in [My Brand](https://docs.crealix.ai/workspace/my-brand.md), or add it to an Autopilot series' style pool.

> [!TIP]
>
> Styles are followed literally. Describe how things are **drawn** — medium, line, color, light, texture — not what's in the scene. Leave characters and subjects to the story, so the style works for every topic.
