Abstract (en)

A writing-implement hold unit 12 holds a writing implement whose drawing density or drawing size varies according to drawing pressure or drawing speed. A paper hold unit 13 holds a sheet of paper. A drawing-data generation section 10 generates drawing data an image drawn on a sheet. A drawing control section 11 controls a drawing drive unit 14 by using the drawing data generated by the drawing-data generation section 10. The drawing drive unit 14 drives the writing-implement hold unit 12 in accordance with control of the drawing control section 11. The drawing drive unit 14 moves in at least three directions by varying a relative positional relationship between the writing implement held by the writing-implement hold unit 12 and the paper held by the paper hold unit 13. With this movement, the drawing drive unit 14 draws characters like those written by a person with a writing implement. <IMAGE>
