A picture is one of important research subjects in order to make our life spiritually rich. Most studies on pictures, however, only propose some substitute functions of actual drawing or painting materials. There is no system that evaluates pictures drawn by users and gives advice about them. We propose a learning support system for basic techniques in beginner?s pencil drawing. The proposed system receives a subject (motif) data set and an image of user?s sketch and returns advice to the user. The system is composed of the four subsystems: feature extraction of motifs, feature extraction of sketches, error identification, and generation and presentation of advice. We developed and experimented a prototype system limited to treat a basic motif and some principal advice. As a result, the validity of the proposed system was confirmed.
