Recently, non-photorealistic image rendering (NPR) has become the subject of research and development by
many researchers due to a rapid improvement in computer graphics. NPR has been used for communication by
emphasizing an image or to simulate existing painting techniques. In this paper, we propose a generation method
for Indian ink painting image which is an Oriental painting technique from two-dimensional realistic image. In
general, Indian ink painting has three kinds of drawing techniques, “Senbyo “ technique to draw only contours
of objects, “Mokkotu“ technique to draw only the interior of objects and “Senzen” technique to draw both
contours and the interior of objects. In this paper, we simulate Indian ink painting by “Senzen” technique. We
extract the contours from two-dimensional realistic image and decide the interior of the object in order to
generate the image which is drawn by “Senzen” technique. The final image is generated by combining the inner
area of the object with the contours. We generated several Indian ink painting images by our method. The
experimental results show that the proposed method is effective for Indian ink painting image rendering
