Palettes

GIMP Version: 2.8.22
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 10, 32 bit
GIMP Experience: New User

I posted my first colourized picture this morning for someone who probably didn't expect a great job.
(I was finally brave enough) I know if I do this more I will get better at it.

I need some help though. I haven't found what I need although there may be in resources or even in the primary pallettes in gimp

I need a pallette for hair colour, skin colour and eye colour.

Can someone point me to a place I have missed or are the pallettes that come with gimp sufficient?

@sallyanne

I have made a very quick (and untidy!) attempt at parts of your photograph to see if I could achieve more natural results.
I looked for photographs on the internet with suitable colouring, pulled them into Gimp and then sampled from them.
This photo is not easy, because of the low definition.

sallyanne: oh, it's so much fun colouring black and white photos! i see you have already got good palettes, otherwise odin posted a basic one here: basic skin tones palette. i like your version of the picture, it's got the look of an illustration from a children's book.

david: wow, good job on that!

@sallyanne,

Sorry, I'm not on facebook, but if I can provide any help you are very welcome.
You can either contact me here, or via a private message.

I don't often colour photographs, but slowly have devised a work pattern which I think produces reasonable results, speeds-up the process slightly, and helps with accuracy.
(I have great difficulty being really accurate when painting - I will never become an artist!)

David, with the beautiful work that you did with that photo, you are an artist! It would pass for an original photo!

Hey David, maybe a tutorial of sorts to outline your process/work flow?
It would be a great learning experience for all of us!

Thank you Graechan for posting the first pallette. I don't know what I was thinking when I replied - Sorry :oops:
