Alfred Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Apart from the background being grey between the subjects’ heads and purplish elsewhere, it could have been a colour photo right from the start.

carl123 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 @GabrielM This is one image that would benefit greatly by supplying the original source image as I do not think people realise just what magic you have done here and I suspect you are not long for the World of Affinity and Nottingham. There are several pensioners out there with their black and white photo albums that need your skills in recreating their technicolor memories of the way things were back then. Go forth and colourise, your talents are wasted here Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Well, not literally a hole, of course, but he’s bent forward and there’s a gap between his arm and his torso. As Carl has observed, the texture is different: it’s flat, like the rest of the wall, but the upper two thirds of the wall is grey and there are only two regions (that one and another on the extreme left) which are purple.

GDPR-365024 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The area in question looks unnaturally clean. Perhaps the original print has been retouched? https://www.peterdinnan.com/ photography with strong elements of mood, abstraction, pareidolia, gestalt and the morphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please look closely at the black and white version. Detach and ZOOM IN. It's the wall. Here is a picture of a man in the same uniform showing how the "hole" is created. (The tight belt creates the "hole") Also look at the shadow from his hand, it only extends down onto his uniform. If the "hole" was part of his uniform the shadow would extend onto part of it also Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

GDPR-365024 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Agreed! (to the area in question being part of the wall, not the uniform). However it looks like to me there could have been retouching done to narrow the waist (due to juxtapositioning with the jacket sleeve?)

EZeemering Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Looking nice Gabriel. Nest step would be to bring more colour / tonal range on the skin. The persons look really flat now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 There’s a rather abrupt transition from pink to yellow on the side of his face. He looks like he’s in danger of turning into a Battenberg cake!

EZeemering Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 That's a good start. But one layer won't cut it for such a hi-res image. Normally I go for 3 base layers of red, yellow and blue. Here's a good explanation https://wannabeanimator.tumblr.com/post/88311875187 on how to paint on said layers. After that it's just looking at a lot of reference photo's for the details. One thing that helped me a great deal was not looking for how-to-colourise tutorials but searching for paint tutorials, esp. oil painting. How they mix colours, and how to create certain effects can be applied to digital as well.. MEB, stokerg and DM1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
