A Neural Representation of Sketch Drawings

11 Apr 2017ICLR 2018 1arXiv:1704.03477archive 2025-07-28

David Ha, Douglas Eck

We present sketch-rnn, a recurrent neural network (RNN) able to construct stroke-based drawings of common objects. The model is trained on thousands of crude human-drawn images representing hundreds of classes. We outline a framework for conditional and unconditional sketch generation, and describe new robust training methods for generating coherent sketch drawings in a vector format.
