    Example?
    Colour images (whether film, plate or printed) did not become available for the absolute vast majority of consumers until the late 1800s / early 1900s. However, the process of hand colouring images was certainly possible and very prevalent - especially among the public. Typically, a small amount of pigment was layered onto the surface of an image and then sealed with varnish to produce the 'colour' image. I'd like to see an example though of what you think you're suggesting.

    I see now.

    The first example is an ambrotype (glass plate) image of three Confederates whom were captured at Gettysburg. The original is certainly not coloured in any way, what you're seeing there is a digital manipulation. I have done a little bit of this myself but I am not a professional by any means. It is usually done in Photoshop and involves building up the layers to achieve a realistic palette of tones. Here is something I did two years back (but never finished):



    The second one could go either way, although without seeing the original source I am inclined to suggest that it is simply a very, very poorly done digital colouring.

    Nice sketch Stephen. I like the spelling of your name btw. I'm digging the "ph" (My name is also Stephen with a "ph". I get excited when I see other Stephens )

    "It is well that war is so terrible. Otherwise we should grow too fond of it." - General Robert E. Lee

    I'm sorry I had to delete this sketch as I've found a mistake in it (moreover, it's happened to look quite primitive). A good drawing will require seriously hard work.
    As for name Stephen, I think with 'ph' it's just more traditional. Steven and Stephen are the same names, but Steven is more Anglo-Saxon-oriented.

    Just a rough sketch/trace. I'm trying out digital drawing so I just traced a photo to start out, plus I don't have a drawing tablet so I have to use a mouse so I had some trouble with that. I'm gonna keep at it and see how I improve, I just started drawing again after years of not drawing so my skills are pretty bad. Does a tablet help with digital drawing? I've never used one before so I'm a little nervous about how it works

    My Korean friend drew this for me when I told him about this game.
