Recent deep image-to-image translation techniques allow fast generation of face images
from freehand sketches. However, existing solutions tend to overfit to sketches, thus …

While diffusion-based text-to-image (T2I) models provide a simple and powerful way to
generate images, guiding this generation remains a challenge. For concepts that are difficult …

Co-creative systems have been widely explored in the field of computational creativity.
However, existing AI partners of these systems are mostly virtual agents. As sketching on …

We present ShadowDraw, a system for guiding the freeform drawing of objects. As the user
draws, ShadowDraw dynamically updates a shadow image underlying the user's strokes …

This paper reports on the design and evaluation of a co-creative drawing partner called the
Drawing Apprentice, which was designed to improvise and collaborate on abstract sketches …

Special skills are required in portrait painting, such as imagining geometric structures and
facial detail for final portrait designs. This makes it a difficult task for users, especially …

The modern landscape of computing has rapidly evolved with breakthroughs in new input
modalities and interaction designs, but the fundamental model of humans giving commands …

This paper describes a thesis exploring how computer programs can collaborate as equals
in the artistic creative process. The proposed system, CoCo Sketch, encodes some …

Abstract Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are transforming the digital art by allowing artists to
