Abstract;It is not easy for beginners to draw high quality pictures. If computers translate beginner's unskillful pictures into high quality ones, we are happy in many cases. In this paper, we propose a support system that modifies an unskillful curve drawn by a beginner in drawing into a skillful curve using features of a curve drawn by an expert in drawing. The modified curve preserves fundamental impression of the beginner's curve while having features of the expert's curve. Using a prototype of our system, we experimented to generate skillful hand-drawn-like curves. As a result, those curves having the features of the general forms of beginner's curves and the features of expert's curves were generated. (author abst.)
