When searching for a photo on a photo site or image bank, we generally use keywords to find our way around.
But the image bank 500px built Splash, a search engine that lets you search for photos by drawing what you need – no matter how bad your drawing is! This tool only works with the 500px database, which makes it relatively limited, but the feature is really fun to use!
To begin your search, go to Splash and start drawing. Choose a brush size, a color and off you go… let the artist in you speak!
As your work progresses, the search for images below your drawing will become more refined.
At the moment, this tool is relatively limited in terms of functionality and does not allow you to draw details (the smallest brush is already very large)... so it is difficult to do a very precise search.
Of course, you won't always succeed, but Reddit users have already taken up the subject with great enthusiasm succes ou of immaturity !
Never mind, I have no doubt that you will have fun testing this tool! By the way, don't hesitate to share your best research with us!
