Photo Colouring.. - marcotk - 03-30-2009
Hello everyone!
I saw some people doing a lot of this with TR photos..so I decided to give it a try for some general of our side of the barricade.
So here is my first attempt! I thought he was Marshal Bogdanov but no, unfortunately I do not know who he is! Towards the end of the medal bar I got a little confused
:cheers

Not bad at all for a first try. There are some obvious problems but still much better than I could do. A little practise and you'll be a champ!

I think he has quite some good coloring skill. I´ve seen worse in military history books.
BTW what do you use for coloring?

Me too! I still have my Crayola box of 50 colors I used when I was in elementary school. Guess that it´d become a memorabilia piece some years later?:confused:Returning to the topic, I wonder if our photo artist friend Marco will paint the face too.

I do like crayons too! But the good thing about the "new age crayon" is that I can keep modifying it! For instance......... a bird just told me his collar shouldn't be black!! :o I started doing this as if he was Marshal Bogdanov and by the end I realized it was not him!
I modified a little the face..not sure it is visible! :thumbsup

pretty nice job. what kind of layering did you use in photoshop, if you don't mind me asking?
never thought of trying to restore fotos like these. i have done quite a bit of graphics and stuff for private sites and such, but i am curious if you used an adjustment layer with coloring and such by using the pen tool or if you did something else.
very extensive work though.

Hello ECD3. Actually, it was a pretty boring and repetitive job! I have just selected every "area" with the lazo tool, created a layer, filled it with color and adjusted its transparency. Lastly, I did some refining with a "cloudy" pen tool, always with a huge transparency.

yeah, I can see how it would be. those little areas on the medals and such...wow. I might just have to try this...ADVENTURE!
nice job though! :thumbsup
