This paper explores the application of interactive genetic algorithms
to the creation of line drawings. We have built a system that mates
or mutates drawings selected by the user to create a new generation
of drawings. The initial population from which the user makes
selections may be generated randomly or input manually. The process
of selection and procreation is repeated many times to evolve a
drawing. A wide variety of complex sketches with highlighting and
shading can be evolved from very simple drawings. This technique
has potential for augmenting and enhancing the power of traditional
computer-aided drawing tools, and for expanding the repertoire of
the computer-assisted artist.
