Inspiration

Most of us loves drawing, when we were child we started to learn the new world by painting papers, walls even our parents' stuff. When we met technology, started to use digital tools like color platte, brushes, eraser etc. Our creations are inspired from nature, moments or objects that we like. Today's color book apps limit us to paint only predefined sketches. We can not paint our desired pictures. So I want to make an app that people can take picture what they want to paint.

What it does

The application has two picture selecting capabilities. These are selecting from library and using built in camera. When user select a picture, application uses modz dominant color detection model and extracts colors that already in the picture. After getting colors from picture, the application makes picture a sketch for drawing. The application also has preview the original picture, detected color brushes and erasing capabilities. In addition to these capabilities, user can share works with others in app.

How we built it

I made an a ios application with using swift language.

Challenges we ran into

Converted image to sketch was a challenge for me. Because ios native image library CoreImage has not any sketch filter. So I tried to use combination of some filters but it did not work. Finally I used a third-party library for this.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

For a long time, I wanted to make a color application but I could not find any tool that differentiates from other applications. First time I have used AI library in an application. They help me to complete an application in shorthand time.
