Abstract

Pen-and-ink illustrations take significant amounts of skill, artistry, and patience to create. Digital tools are widely used to accelerate the process; but they provide less artistic freedom and cannot easily capture illustrators' personal style. Furthermore, these tools disrupt the traditional illustration workflow, because they are tedious and draw attention to dialog boxes and away from the illustration itself. We present Vignette, an interactive tool that facilitates texture creation in pen-and-ink illustrations in a natural way with built in texture synthesis capabilities.
