Hello! Today I am going to share some fun websites that I think artists would enjoy using! Some of these are fantastic for getting inspiration for your next piece, while others are just plainly fun to use.
color hunt
Color Hunt is a super pretty website to look at: there are seemingly infinite rows of beautiful four-tone color palettes. You can easily copy the color codes or save the palette by clicking on the heart. Plus, there is no need to create an account! You can also create your own color palettes and add them to the list, but the person that created Color Hunt curates all the palettes.
fluid paint
While Fluid Paint isn’t totally suited for drawing, it’s super satisfying to make large swipes of the brush on the canvas. The paint in Fluid Paint is very fluid and naturally blends together like real life, and the brush shapes itself naturally as well. It was coded mostly using JavaScript, but there is also GLSL, which I have no idea about.
quick, draw!
Quick, Draw! is an AI experiment by Google where the neutral net tries to guess what you are drawing (basically pictionary with a robot). It bases its guesses off of other people who drew in Quick, Draw!, so it’s usually pretty accurate. It’s super fun to play and you can also view their database of all the drawings they have ever gotten!
I failed that round when I got the screenshot 😂
coolors
Coolors, in my opinion, is the most optimal way to create color palettes. You can have a large range of colors in your palette, rearrange colors, learn all different color codes, and more! Their list of color palettes isn’t curated like Color Hunt, so I don’t personally like looking in their list of public palettes (but their palette making is more superior than Color Hunt).
art coloring book
This is another project from Google, but they are coloring books! They took famous pieces of art and turned them into line drawings, and then you can select the colors in the bar and click to fill the shapes. There is a radial animation that appears when you click on a shape and it is nice to watch. There are background textures that show up when you fill it with colors that reflect what the actual art looks like.
I hope you enjoyed my list of fun websites! What is your favorite out of the list? Do you like color palettes? Have a fantastic day! Bye!
