Systems and method directed to generating a stylized image are disclosed. In particular, the method includes, in a first data path, (a) applying first stylization to an input image and (b) applying enlargement to the stylized image from (a). The method also includes, in a second data path, (c) applying segmentation to the input image to identify a face region of the input image and generate a mask image, and (d) applying second stylization to an entirety of the input image and inpainting to the identified face region of the stylized image. Machine-assisted blending is performed based on (1) the stylized image after the enlargement from the first data path, (2) the inpainted image from the second data path, and (3) the mask image, in order to obtain a final stylized image.
