Transform Your Favorite Pictures Into Artwork

If you're looking to create a color palette from an image, experience a new digital art technique, or find a relaxing creative hobby, this post is here to guide you on that journey.


How Turning a Photo Into a Palette Make Coloring Better

In an era where coloring pages have extended past the traditional ways of coloring books and markers, there's more tools than ever to relax and create something beautiful.


We often go about life with different things that inspire us. It could be a plant, a dream house, a vacation, a piece of apparel, a car, a pet or a person. This inspiration could be a photo saved on your camera roll, on a mood board, in a frame, or on a Pinterest board. While you may value these images for sentimental reasons, the colors within it are an important part of its essence.


The photos we love are often cohesive. Take a landscape that blends together, or pet that just looks perfect sitting on the sofa. You never had to worry about matching the color of the sand to the ocean and the sky. They have just always existed beautifully.


This concept of the colors within a photo naturally matching is exactly why a color palette from image generator is a perfect choice when completing a digital coloring page. You can use a bold assortment of colors you already love, without having to worry if they match.
