Computational Scaffolding of Composition, Value, and Color for Disciplined Drawing
summary
ArtKrit is a Krita plugin that scaffolds disciplined drawing into three steps—composition, value, color—and gives adaptive guidance like composition lines generated from user boxes, blurred grayscale thumbnails for value, and an isolate-on-hover color widget. Under the hood it uses Grounding DINO + SAM to get object polygons and a modified RANSAC to fit prominent spatial lines. A five-participant study and two art-educator reviews show it flexibly fits different workflows, prompts reflection-in-action, and nudges professional vision without forcing a single “correct” edit.
