A sketch is one of the most intuitive and versatile tools humans use to convey their ideas visually. An animated sketch opens another dimension to the expression of ideas and is widely used by designers for a variety of purposes. Animating sketches is a laborious process, requiring extensive experience and professional design skills. In this work, we present a method that automatically adds motion to a single-subject sketch (hence, ``breathing life into it''), merely by providing a text prompt indicating th
There exist many ways to represent sketches in vector format, including different types of curves or primitive shapes (such as lines or polygons), different attributes for the shapes (such as stroke's width, closed shapes, and more), and with different number of parameters. Our selection of hyperparameters and network design is based on one specific sketch representation. Below is an example of a sketch of a surfer, defined by a sequence of closed segments of cubic Bezier curves, and contains a relatively h
