Black and White to Color

In high school, I performed in 11 theatrical productions. Not to brag, or anything, I was adored on the Avon Stage, and a lot of my friends would tell me that they only enjoyed the productions (since everyone was required to attend) because of my performance. Was this true? I don't know, but this image from the school magazine, writing an article about me as the "Featured Artist" in the school newsletter, was one I felt would look great in many different ways.



The first image is simply in black and white, using grayscale. For the next pictures, I will add colors to make the image pop. However, I decided to use the clothing, which is typical "Vespers" attire at my school, as the place I would add colors too.












Using the adobe colors site, I was able to create interesting creations with each color style, and it has led to great results. What really popped out to me was the Triad, which looks somewhat similar to the suit used in the "Joker" movie. I couldn't choose a favorite from these 6, I really enjoy all of them, and I think they all look really interesting.

  1. The creativity achieved in Taylor's black and white to color portraits is remarkable. Knowing how difficult and time consuming a brush tool in use can be, I am pretty impressed with this work. Out of the six portraits, my favorite portrait is definitely the Triad portrait. I think these colors truly embody a clown, so I believe creating a joker like effect with colors was brilliant. It is so good, that I wish all six portraits had the joker like coloring on his face as the Triad portrait does. In addition to adding the joker face colors to each portrait, I would also had a finer brush detail around the eyebrows, eyes, and lips on every portrait.
