Sketch learning environment for human body figure by imitative drawing

Abstract

We developed an interactive learning environment for imitative figure sketching. Figure sketching is more difficult for novice than other sketching. People can easily find errors of figure sketch, since human is sensitive to human body figure. There are some important points to draw figure sketch. In this paper, we focus on length and angle between junctions. After learners draw human body figure by imitative sketching, the learning environment diagnoses the lengths and angles between junctions of drawn figure sketch. The environment shows scores of the learners' figure sketch and some advice. We evaluated the environment with some learners. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
