Abstract
Drawings of children usually have a unique charm due to their naïve and untutored styles. To easily produce the kid-style art, we proposed KidPen, a method that can transform realistic photos into kid-style sketches. Synthesizing kid-style sketches is challenging because children often draw objects with large shape changes and content simplification. We propose a stroke composition method based on a general cognitive process of human copy-drawing, thus the system is not restricted to specific object categories. The perceptual study shows that there is no significant difference of naturalness between the synthesized sketches of our method and the children's drawings.
