1. Wash drawing: A drawing made by a brush in washes with a single pigment of black or dark colour soluble in water, to be reproduced by the half-tone process.

2. The Chinese ink wash drawing has a history of about one thousand years.

3. Chinese ink wash drawing has a history of about one thousand years.

4. In Chinese ink wash drawing, a self-similar silhouette is generated on Xuan paper while ink diffuses. An approach based on fractal is presented to simulate the diffusion border.

5. Experimental results demonstrate that the diffusion effect simulated by fractal is similar to the real effect of ink wash drawing.

6. One of the most challenging work in non-photorealistic rendering research field is to studies of the simulation of Chinese ink wash drawing.

7. From the point of colors in traditional Chinese figure painting, there remain some forms, i. e. the using of original colors, of mixed colors and of mixture colors and wash drawing and so on.

8. In order to simulate the real and particular effect of Chinese Ink Wash Drawing, a new simulation approach based on physical modeling is presented.
