Show HN: MyLineArts – Turn Photos into Bobbie Goods-Style Line Art for Painting (opens in new tab)

Hey HN, I built MyLineArts (mylinearts.com) for anyone who wants to paint their own art but needs a clean, inspiring starting point. It’s a simple web app that takes any photo you upload—your kid’s drawing, a family portrait, a cool landscape—and transforms it into a minimalist, Bobbie Goods-style line art outline, ready for you to paint or color by hand.

I love the flowing, single-line vibe of Bobbie Goods but found it tricky to create those outlines without pro-level art skills. MyLineArts does the work for you: upload a photo, adjust line style or detail if you like, and download a crisp PNG outline in seconds. It’s about giving you a canvas to make something uniquely yours with paints, markers, or crayons.

You can:

Turn your child’s sketch into a paintable masterpiece

Convert a favorite photo into a fun coloring project

Download a PNG ready to print and paint

I’ve been tweaking this for months and finally got it ready to share. Try it at mylinearts.com and let me know what you think! Curious about your thoughts on the line art quality, ease of use, or features you’d want to see. Anyone else into painting Bobbie Goods-style designs or working on art with kids?
