Title
ColorSketch: A Drawing Assistant for Generating Color Sketches from Photos.
Abstract
A color sketch creates a vivid depiction of a scene using sparse pencil strokes and casual colored brush strokes. In this paper, we introduce an interactive drawing system, called ColorSketch, for helping novice users generate color sketches from photos. Our system is motivated by the fact that novice users are often capable of tracing object boundaries using pencil strokes, but have difficulties to choose proper colors and brush over an image region in a visually pleasing way. To preserve artistic freedom and expressiveness, our system lets users have full control over pencil strokes for depicting object shapes and geometric details at an appropriate level of abstraction, and automatically augment pencil sketches using color brushes, such as color mapping, brush stroke rendering as well as blank area creation. Experimental and user study results demonstrate that users, especially novice ones, can generate much better color sketches more efficiently with our system than using traditional manual tools.
