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.

Vignette is an interactive system that facilitates texture creation in pen-and-ink illustrations. Unlike existing systems, Vignette preserves illustrators’ workflow and style: users draw a fraction of a texture and use gestures to automatically fill regions with the texture. Our exploration of natural work-flow and gesture-based interaction was inspired by traditional way of creating illustrations. We currently support both 1D and 2D synthesis with stitching. Our system also has interactive refinement and editing capabilities to provide a higher level texture control, which helps artists achieve their desired vision. Vignette makes the process of illustration more enjoyable and that first time users …
