Marble bust photo of Robert Williams challenge
« on: Thursday 23 November 17 21:09 GMT (UK) »
This is a photograph of a marble bust of one of my ancestors. As you can see there's a lot of light glancing off it.  This is the only photo I have of any of my ancestors from that side of the family apart from my grandfather.  I was wondering if anyone could give it a bit of colour and whether the whiskers could be removed so that I can get an idea of the shape of the face.  It's a bit of a challenge but I'd be interested to see the result.

Interesting to know what he would have looked like. Here is a crack at it with a light colour and i tried to realign the image to more front on with slight angle still. Not much can do when the photo of the photo is taken at such angles.


Anyway, hope this helps.

Wow, those are brilliant.  I especially love the one with the proper clothes on.  Fantastic.  Thank you all.
