Abstract
Support to make a picture is one of important research subjects in order to make our life spiritually rich. Most studies on pictures, however, only propose some substitute functions of actual materials for drawing and painting. There is no system that evaluates pictures drawn by novices and gives advice. We have been proposing a support system for basic sketch learning. The proposed system deals with novices' pencil drawings. The system receives a subject (motif) data set and an image of user's sketch and returns advice to the user. We have developed and experimented with a prototype system. As a result, the validity of the proposed system was confirmed.
