Shape analogies

Abstract

This sketch presents "Shape Analogies," a method for learning line styles from examples. With this approach, an artist or end-user simply draws in the desired style; the system analyzes the drawings and generates new imagery in the same style. For example, to design an outline style for a nervous character, one may draw a jittery stroke; to design an outline style for a robot, one may draw a very rigid style with many sharp angles.
