Abstract
Methods for providing drawing assistance to a user sketching an image include geometrically correcting and parametrically adjusting user strokes to improve their placement and appearance. As a user draws a stroke, the stroke is geometrically corrected by moving the stroke toward a feature of the image the user is intending to draw. To further improve the user strokes, parametric adjustments are made to the geometrically-corrected stroke to emphasize “correctly” drawn lines and de-emphasize “incorrectly” drawn lines.
