Colour turns them from characters in books to real life people. Beautiful work

[@MysteryScoop]

Excellent video and love camera work!...

[@JBColourisation]

I just had such a cartoon-esque double take when I saw your channel name pop up here! Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on one of my videos :)

[@ijalabadaloza8697]

Please up load more James. We love your work ❤️!

Wild that people can do things like this. Great work especially Mark Twain.

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you very much! :)

[@woooof_]

Bismark can finally be seen with a beautiful colorful Pickelhaube!

[@Fishboy67]

[@originalhistory4446]

Great work! When I saw Bismarck in the thumbnail I knew I had to watch it...

Suggestion: Could you color the photos of Brazilian presidents who were never photographed in color?

[@gazchef2390]

Brilliant

[@JBColourisation]

Thanks! :)

[@basic8313]

the music choice has made me look behind my shoulder several times

[@odarrien]

These are outstanding! Really inspiring me to learn.

[@lonerstargaming5001]

Here's a small suggestion. What if you were to colorize some of Titanic's Passenger and Crew. I personally would love to see some of the passengers such as Thomas Andrews, Molly Brown, Captain Smith, Bruce Ismay, and other figures colorized. Thanks!

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I would also love to work on that! :)

[@Herbyvore]

I love this video! I think the transformations are astounding, such good work here!

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you so much, that's incredibly kind of you to say! :)

[@TexasPelican]

Hurray! Tubman and Louisa May Alcott!!!

[@scml7740]

Restore a picture of John Wilkes booth.

[@littleman787]

Great video

[@JBColourisation]

Thanks! :)

[@kaptainskarlett9927]

I think it would be good to colorize some film stars of the early days of motion pictures. Each time I watch The Thin Man or a Marx Brothers movie I keep wishing I could see them I color.

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you very much for the suggestions! That's certainly a magical era of entertainment to look back on :)

[@ethanramos4441]

Hey JB, Can you do a colorized of Prince John of the United Kingdom known as the Lost Prince?

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you for the suggestion! :)

[@ethanramos4441]

@@JBColourisation Ah your welcome

[@lunct5211]

I think Arthur Wesley the Duke of Wellington would be an interesting one to see

[@swhp_ah_mc_autism]

You deserve more subs

[@JBColourisation]

That is very kind of you to say! :)

[@Theincrediblespud]

Will you upload again soon?

[@GarnetBlazeAnimator]

Do you add blue and green undertones to the skin? I know its something painters do to add subtle variation.

[@raileyti]

Just found this channel, these are stunning! After watching your presidential videos, I just got to ask? would it be ok for me to use these (with credits of course) in my history lessons? Im a History highschool-teacher in Sweden, and I think your idea of making historical persons and pictures more relateable fantastic! These would be real nice for powerpoint material, but I thought I ask first. P.S Even if its not ok to use, just wanna say that your work is amazing. (thuu I might be biased concerning historical photographs as a history teacher)

[@JBColourisation]

That sounds fine! :) And thank you for your kind words!! :)

[@cuffedazz2733]

When attempting these colorization's do you need a professional scanner or will a home scanner be good enough?

[@Mikimoo7899]

Hey, I have a question and it might sound stupid. Do you think Paint.net can also be used to colorize photos? I have an easier time using paint.net than photoshop, although I use photoshop too to polish some damages before I do the colorizing process. I hope you can answer my question, and perhaps make a video to show results and compare it to photoshop and other usefull programs. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@mrbob5979]

By any chance is there a linen restored/colored picture? To clarify the linen that started the communist uprising in Russia.

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you for the suggestion! :)

[@TexasPelican]

Two more suggestions if you don't mind: Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan aka "Teacher". Thanks!

[@JBColourisation]

Always happy for more suggestions! :)

[@DapperDaan]

What graphics tablet do you use?

[@originalhistory4446]

Can you do one of World War 1 and World War 2 political figures?

[@slepey_]

May you colorize old steam engine photos either from America Or Britain?

[@JBColourisation]

That is a really nice suggestion, thank you! :)

[@autosalesrevival]

can you colorize classical composers

[@Minilopo18]

Would you consider doing some of Dr William Pryce? Arch Druid and heavily responsible for legalising cremation in the UK. He has some very funky photos with very unique costumes and poses. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Price_(physician)

[@JBColourisation]

Thank you for that marvelous suggestion! :)

[@u.spresidents7088]

Please do Albert Einstein

[@jar8425]

Wow. Poe looks haunted.

[@TodayFreedom]

I’d strongly recommend studying how portraitists use colour. Human skin tones are far more complex than this, which is why these retouched photos almost always look oversaturated and unnatural. In any Caucasian face, for example, you’ll find tons of green, blue, yellow, grey, and the usual range of pinks. The effect achieved in photo colourisation is what is called “colour blocking” - the absolute first stage in a portrait. And the old rule of painting should always be adhered to in achieving a good result: “Better grey than garish”; look at any master portraitist’s work and you’ll see that the hues are exceptionally muted. Often that’s achieved by a grisaille underpainting with layers upon layers of very thin glaze on top.
