In this paper, we present a framework named as PencilArt for the chromatic penciling style generation from wild photographs. The structural outline and textured map for composing the chromatic pencil drawing are generated, respectively. First, we take advantage of deep neural network to produce the structural outline with proper intensity variation and conciseness. Next, for the textured map, we follow the painting process of artists to adjust the tone of input images to match the luminance histogram and pencil textures of real drawings. Eventually, we evaluate PencilArt via a series of comparisons to previous work, showing that our results better capture the main features of real chromatic pencil drawings and have an improved visual appearance.Non‐photorealistic rendering has been an active area of research for decades whereas few of them concentrate on rendering chromatic penciling style.
