My husband recently sent me a link to a site called PaintsChainer that will colorize sketches for you. While it seems to be primarily intended for anime type sketches I thought I’d have a little fun with it. I wanted to see what it would do with some of my mandalas and Zentangles. The program worked better on the mandalas and while I would never color them this way myself the results are very pretty. They definitely have a watercolor or marker feel to them. Scroll down to see all the images and let me know what you think. I won’t deny I’m inspired by some of the color choices the program made.
Most of my Zentangles did not look so pretty but this one with the leaves turned out nicely.
Ooh, that’s really neat! Ironically, as someone who loves to use ALL the colors, I liked the ones that have a more limited palette like the third mandala from the top. Maybe I’ll play with that idea the next time I color a page. 🙂
Yeah – it gave me some ideas as well. I’ve done the limited palette thing a couple of times but I like how it flows on some of these.
