What the AI looks for in Diamond Painting Kits
- Canvas size vs detail
- Larger canvases with more colours give more detail. Small canvases with complex images turn blocky. Resolution is limited by drill size, so small kits cannot render fine detail.
- Drill shape
- Square drills (about 2.5 mm) for a seamless finish. Round drills (about 2.8 mm) for easier placement. This is the main trade-off between looks and effort.
- Full vs partial drill
- Confirm full drill if you want the whole image covered. Partial drill kits are often mistaken for full ones.
- Rolled canvas
- Prefer tube-shipped canvases. Creases damage the adhesive and show in the finished piece.
- Special drills
- AB, fairy dust or glow drills should be listed as included if you want them. They change the finished look and are not standard in most kits.
Brands that matter
- Wizardi: Solid all-round kits with good canvas quality.
- Diamond Art Club: Premium enthusiast choice with licensed art.
- Diamond Dotz: Widely available and consistent, good for first kits.
- Paint With Diamonds: Quality drills and adhesive, aimed at hobbyists.

What to avoid

Questions
What do AB drills do?
AB drills have an iridescent coating that adds shimmer. They are usually used for highlights rather than the whole canvas.
