The restoration is great. The colorization part could use a lil more work though. But still that is pretty good too. lol very nice job

Thanks. It is hard with a white background to add any sort of depth to it. I did try to add their shadows in though.

I may write a tutorial for this! working on a few new ones now, but it takes a while for me to format to put onto the web.

thanks (: the colouring could use a bit of a tweaking. i have a dark monitor, but when i printed it out i noticed a few of the tones were a bit off. but i think the vintage tones do suite this image at the same time. maybe it is a little more stylized than realistic?

There are still some black and white bits in the hair, but the rest is amazing. Anyway, awesome job. Did you follow a tutorial for this?

when i resized these to post online, i opened a new document (to the size i wanted) and then resized it to fit in the new document. i could've just done an image resize but for the sake of comparison i wasn't worried about maintaining the same sizes.

the hair was challenging for me. it took some tweaking to make the hair go to blonde. the youngest one also is wearing a black headband and some is peaking through the hair.

i didn't use a tutorial for this, been at colouring/refinishing for a couple years now so i have a technique that for me works well. when i started though i had readup on many methods of coloring.

Watch the skin tone on the restored one, it doesn't look real. No skin tone is that uniform. Feather the skin touching the hair, the hairlines aren't great (especially on the little boy). Otherwise its really nice.

^almost exactly what I was going to say.

It looks great, but the little kid at the end looks creepy.
Or just like a little doll...pinch.gif

Once again, it looks great though.
