Here's how to turn your drawing into a dream dragon like this one using the YouTube Shorts effect. First, hit the plus button at the bottom of the YouTube Shorts app. And once you're here, hi. Go ahead and tap this effects icon here. Go to AI on the bottom. Then scroll down where you see dream dragon. Tap it. And then you're going to hit the check mark on the right hand side. And then you're going to draw your dragon. And we noticed that the simpler the drawing, the easier you're going to hit that red icon to be able to generate it with Gemini.
