Begin with color
Ten finished watercolors, each a different starting point. Follow an edge, find a creature, or see something nobody else sees.
Color first.
Draw what
you imagine.
A reverse coloring app. Start with a finished watercolor, then add the lines, shapes and stories you see in it.
Free. No account. No ads.
Just your finger on iPhone.Your finger or Apple Pencil on iPad.Coming soon to Android.
A little color. A little time for yourself.
No blank page.Just possibilities.
The color is already there.
A fin, a leaf, a face?
What happens next is up to you.
Find your line
A pen, a pencil and six shades from white to black. Change the width and let a few simple marks bring the watercolor to life.
Try. Undo. Try again.
Erase a detail, undo a mark or return to the untouched watercolor. There is no right answer, and no perfect result to chase.
Make yourself comfortable
Enhanced readability adds larger, darker text and clearer outlines. Reduce Motion turns off interface animations. Find both in Settings on iPhone and iPad.
A little roomfor imagination.
Choose a watercolor. Add a few lines. Watch your drawing take shape again as a timelapse, then share the making.
The same idea. Room to draw on either screen.
Draw with your finger.
Drag, swipe or use the arrows to see every step
Every drawing keeps its story.
The app remembers each line in the order you drew it. Play it back as a timelapse and share the making, not only the result.
Loose loops, quick circles, second thoughts: all of it becomes part of the story.
What do you
see in the color?
Ten watercolors. No two drawings alike.
Color Before the Lines
