Anime2Sketch

Why we included this project

Given a full-color anime or manga image, Anime2Sketch returns the same scene as clean line art, and it handles digital illustration just as well. Artists and animators can use those line drafts as a base for inking, color tests, or reference sheets. It is a GAN-based image-to-image model, and the repo ships the pretrained weights with a simple test script, so you can point it at a folder of images and get sketches back without training anything. Inference runs on CPU as well as GPU, and a Docker setup is included for batch conversion inside a pipeline. The artifact-free weight variant is worth a look when your input is dark or low contrast, such as scans or dimly lit drawings.
