Turn a Photo Into a Colouring Page - original photo and one ready to print or send to friends for them to color You can turn your photos into colouring pages really easily by using mobile phone photo editing apps. I will show you how to make them using a free Apple and Android friendly app called Prisma. It only takes a couple moments and the outcome is pretty cool. I sent out my black and white colouring page to my friends online and asked them to colour it in and send them back to me. I've attached their versions for you to see. You can also print out the colouring pages with a printer and make a personalized colouring book! So fun!

Supplies:

digital photo on your mobile phone
Prisma app
printer and paper (optional)

Steps:

Go to your phone's app store and download Prisma. It's free!

Choose a photo that has a good amount of contrast and a mixture of lighting. I chose a selfie where my hair is shiny and there are plenty of shadows and highlights.

Open the Prisma app and upload your photo. Select the filter near the end called Heisenberg.

Click on the middle "adjustments" icon if you'd like to play with the exposure, contrast, and brightness. I adjusted mine so the blacks were very dark and the whites were very bright.
