A sketch generating system and a method for generating a sketch based on an image are provided. The system includes: a sketch database and a generating subsystem. The sketch database stores local image samples and corresponding local sketch units in different categories. The generating subsystem extracts geometrical features from an input image, retrieves local image units from the input image according to the geometrical features; as to each local image unit retrieved, searches the sketch database for a local sketch unit corresponding to a local image sample having a largest similarity value with the local image unit, and combines all local sketch units found to form one sketch.
