Got black and white illustrations? Need color? Get Akvis Coloriage Photo coloring program

You probably already know that I love vintage illustrations. I have quite a collection of awesome antique black and white illustrations that need just a little color to make them pop!

 A few days ago my husband said that he wished we could color old vintage illustrations. So I got to searching on the internet and found Akvis Coloriage.

It is incredibly easy to use! I have had some incredible illustrations that I have just been itching to recolor. I've tried coloring them by hand with colored pencils, which turned out okay, but I'm totally loving this program.

Look at these cuties, before:


After:


After: They look great don't you think? I need to rework the little girl, cause she's not there yet, but still, I think she looks pretty darn awesome if I say so myself!

Check back soon you vintage image lovers! I will be making a AKVis Coloriage Tutorial, if I can tear myself away from coloring, that is!

  14. Sounds like a great new coloring system. Looks like you're having some fun with it. They look completely different with the color, but also still luv black and white or black and white with a little blush of color like they do in some vintage photos. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Followed you!

  17. Neat! I haven't heard of that program, but I dabbled in coloring my illustrations with Photoshop back in college. It just wasn't as relaxing as using colored pencils.
