Computer-assisted animation production tools have an important role in animation production industries. They could reduce the production cost and time, but they rarely copy artistic characteristics of an animators. In this paper, a new computer-assisted line pattern drawing system is proposed. The system automatically copies artistic characteristics of an animator and applies them to computer-generated animations. The artistic characteristics are captured from key frames drawn by an animator. The result shows that the presented approach can copy artistic characteristics from key frames well and reduce time and cost for producing artistic animations.
