Thanks!

There's got to be a way, although it might be incestuous. Use Deep style transfer and/or Prisma to massively increase the body of work, by transforming other work into that style, and then using that as training data for this...? Then I guess the artistry is in filtering those images, but that's a lot of images...

OOOOOHHHH WAIT. Remember how there's that dude who gets shown surveillance images from the middle east, and a computer watches his brain for the faster-than-thought responses to there being things in those images? That same trick MIGHT work for artistic sensibilities, but the response might not be identifiable enough.

We are working on something similar to your idea. We generate sketch images from real images automatically and train a model on the sketch images. So ideally, if a user draw the left wheel of the bicycle, the system will produce the entire bicycle sketch. We will release this 'sketch' feature in a few days and hope it will help a user better sketch object.

As you said, one can also apply other filters like Prisma.

Neat! Who's "we"? I'd like to read more.
