  • WTF

    Colouring it didn't look the same as the final product it said it would be. Look at the end few seconds and the colour version. the eyes look ridiculous.

    • Yes, he lies

      This guy lies to get cash. The first color pic he showed was actually an original. And then he made it black and white and messed it up.

    • If you mess with the opacity

      of the layer you can make the eyes less intense.

      By mtspknwildcat 1184188746
    • True

      But at least he demonstrates how to use the pen tool to edit characters.

  • i did it and made myself black

    .

    By gnarkill_haggard 1167716943
  • I like it...

    but, in comparing the result with the color picture at the beginning, what else needs to be done to the final picture to get the color right on the eyes? Maybe an opacity change on the eyes?

    By vidhow 1167387393
    • thanks...

      for giving it a professional touch u need to play a little bit with opacity and then color balancing...that should be sufficient.

  • Question on copyright

    I'm still new at this but thought we weren't allowed to use pics that are obviously not ours, especially if they play a key role (which this pic of Patrick Stewart does). Can anyone please clarify.

  • does it really matter ...

    if he used a picture that started out b/w, or made a color picture into a b/w one and then changed it back? the result is the same either way

  • Great Tutorial!

    good going shoks. ur videos are really impressive and innovative. keep it up!

    By busybuzz 1167496636
    • WTF?

      INNOVATIVE??? First of all, there are AWESOME pictures on worth1000.com of image colorizing that would blow this away. I started worth1000 many years ago and I can tell you this image would get last or nearly last place in one of their contests.

      ALSO
      This guy lies to get cash. The first color pic he showed was actually an original. And then he made it black and white and messed it up.

      By metacell 1167928870
    • Original Photo was in Colour!

      The original colour photo is available on the Internet - therefore, shoks has converted it to black and white and started messing about from there - fake example!

  • S**t This guy is very bad with Photoshop

    The original picture was in color and he convert in B & W if you check the S**t that this people do check the last part of the video and compare with the first. I have been using photoshop for the last 7 years and If you do it, do it good.

    By Miami BadBoy 1168197451
    • idiot

      Yeah, maybe he converted it to black and white before the tutorial so that he would have a greyscale image to work on... duh... He's still colouring a b/w image in the tutorial - did you watch it at all or are you lying about your photoshop experience?
      - I've used photoshop for 10 years, but I could have told you this 9 years ago using common sense :P

      Here's a tutorial I made:
