Colorization

[Weeping Annie]

I've been trying to work on colorization for Classic Doctor Who icons. This are two of my latest tries(I think my 4th tried with actual photos)

I also added more colring but just to the icons.



*Sorry for the ugly watermarks, but I don't want anyone using them for now. But if anyone wants to see them without them just ask. Also the message is for lj so just reply here. *

What exactly did you color? It's easy to see the comparison if you share the originals

True. Added.

I think you may want to play around with it some more; I recently started colouring b&w photos, myself. Try playing with the blending options, the burn/dodge tools, and try using layer masks, if you don't already. :] Right now it seems a little flat, so it's a bit more obvious the pictures weren't originally in colour. This tutorial was really helpful, but of course, don't limit yourself to just what the tutorial says to do - use it as a base for the basic technique, then experiment until you get results you're happy with.
