Abstract
Sketch and style based image retrieval in a digital medium environment is described. Initially, a user sketches an object to be searched in connection with an image search. Styled images are selected to indicate a desired style of images to be returned by the search. A search request is generated based on the sketch and selected images. Responsive to the request, an image repository is searched to identify images having the desired object and styling. To search the image repository, a neural network is utilized that is capable of recognizing the desired object in images based on visual characteristics of the sketch and independently recognizing the desired styling in images based on visual characteristics of the selected images. This independent recognition allows desired styling to be specified by selecting images having the style but not the desired object. Images having the desired object and styling are returned.
