Abstract
We propose Neural Brushstroke Engine, the first method to apply deep generative models to learn a distribution of interactive drawing tools. Our conditional GAN model learns the latent space of drawing styles from a small set (about 200) of unlabeled images in different media. Once trained, a single model can texturize stroke patches drawn by the artist, emulating a diverse collection of brush styles in the latent space. In order to enable interactive painting on a canvas of arbitrary size, we design a painting engine able to support real-time seamless patch-based generation, while allowing artists direct control of stroke shape, color and thickness. We show that the latent space learned by our model generalizes to unseen drawing and more experimental styles (e.g. beads) by embedding real styles into the latent space. We explore other applications of the continuous latent space, such as optimizing brushes to enable painting in the style of an existing artwork, automatic line drawing stylization, brush interpolation, and even natural language search over a continuous space of drawing tools. Our prototype received positive feedback from a small group of digital artists.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
