Nikola Tesla 1890 COLORIZATION

[zkogut]

Hi Everybody,

I've finally had some time to get a colorization done. This time I chose Nikola Tesla since I've never seen him in color anywhere. I found this photo in the National Archives which is where I go now for non copyrighted black and white photos. Took me about 2 hrs to color this photo since it was mostly his face and jacket with no other background objects to color. Thanks for looking!

Interesting work, Zak. Are you sure about the grey hair around the temple?

It's actually very light brown and peach. It was a very difficult spot to blend without making the colors look muddy.

very nice job - but, that's what we expect from you work!

This one only took me 2 hrs. There wasn't any background objects etc to color which adds a significant amount of time.

Awesome as usual Zak.

I just had a look through your Colorized album on Flickr, great stuff.

Thanks for looking! Do you or anybody else have any suggestions for an old photo that I should color next?

[zkogut]

If anybody has old portraits of Grandparents etc that you'd like colorized, please shoot me a message. I'm always looking for ways to keep busy in the evenings.
