I'm doing a portrait of my grandfather (when he was younger) for my mother's birthday. I need to get as much feedback as I can before I have it printed. http://www.naputi.com/stuft/pic/papaweb2.jpg Reference: http://www.naputi.com/stuft/pic/paparef.jpg |

Looks really good man, I like the detail you put into your peices... for some reason the glasses look funny to me, but everything else looks really great ![]() |

yeah - the lens that is farther out is bigger (and more curved) than the one closer ![]() and the far edge of the upper lip is also a bit funny - like he's biting on it... but I like it otherwise - a lot ![]() |

Don't know your method or if you plan on digitising it but as it's such a small reference, scanning it would increase your size. GJ on what you have so far, perhaps the lips are a little rigid ATM but it's a good likeness. |

She is going to be so moved... excellent. No time to be gentle if you're under a crunch. You dropped an anvil on his head. ![]() His ear needs to be elongated a little. His shirt collar is too narrow, especially on the near side. I agree with the above. Stepping a little outside of trying to just copy a photo: Add interest to the composition by adding more contrast. Work your shadows and highlights more--both more intense. Add a lot more reflection to the eyes, and some to the glasses. And finally, you have a wonderful start already--I think it's touching what you're doing for your mom; and it shows. |

GJ on what you have so far, perhaps the lips are a little rigid ATM but it's a good likeness.[/QUOTE] Yea, I'm working with a wallet photo that's really old but it's easy enough if I just hold it up to my face real close :p Thanks for all the feedback so far. A lot of really good points have been brought up and I'm working them into the final run. I've already made a lot of big changes and it's looking better every time I add to it. I still have plenty of time to complete this because her birthday isn't until the 29th. I'm usually a big procrastinator but I wanted to make this the best it could be. ps. Does anyone know where I can get information or tutorials on restoring and colorizing old photos like this? I want to have the final printed version in color but I don't really know where to start. Thanks again. |
