Creators can learn the art of their craft through different types of learning materials. In this study, we focus on learning materials of two-dimensional illustrations. Expressions for learning materials have various forms, many of which are posted as articles on illustration posting sites and magazines and others are posted as movies on video sharing services. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. In terms of data, illustration learning materials can be regarded as spatio-temporal data. The authors of this paper have considered applying illustration learning materials as spatio-temporal data consisting of events that occur during the creation process, and they proposed the use of learning materials in an event-based form. A viewing tool developed by the authors provides functions to display the learning materials in an event-based form using space-based keys. The effectiveness of the proposed form is also shown through an evaluation experiment.
