Abstract

Today, with the spared of the Internet, most of the everyday-life components are being digitized. Drawing software is an example of such developments. There are many types of software products, from drawing/painting software that can be easily used by children, to those with specific features that creators and professionals can use for delicate works. However, there are few packages of software that can give the feeling of drawing. It is assumed that the “real feel”, which is easily obtained when people draw in reality leads to the improvement of work efficiency. There are many factors that enable people to obtain this feeling. In this study, we specifically focus on one of them, "Sound". It is conceivable that the generated sound varies depending on the combination of the drawing tool and the surface material, and also on the characteristics such as the writing pressure and writing speed of each user. As the first part of the series of the study, we will recognize how the sounds are differed and verify that people can obtain “sensation of drawing” by sounds.
