I found a tutorial for creating coloring pages from photos. This is a great idea. It can also be great as gifts from the kids for other family members. Plus, this is a good way to save money on all those coloring books!

I opened the picture I wanted to use and created a new layer. Then I used the photocopy filter and adjusted the settings for detail and darkness until I was satisfied. Then I created a new adjustment layer and changed the shadow and highlight levels. I was tempted to use the lasso tool to cut the background out of the picture, because I think this would make a better coloring page if it was just the car alone, but that would involve more work and I was just trying this out. Read the tutorial for detailed steps.

I chose to use my last project as the picture for this coloring page. Click the preview on the right to view the full image.

If you are here searching for actual coloring pages of any of the Cars characters, take a look at this Disney Cars page. Coloring Book has the best selection of Cars coloring pages.
