The mosaic of my children was getting a bit out of date, so I thought it might be a good idea to have it replaced, this time with three children.
Just like the previous one, this mosaic was made with the nine brown-shades from the old ministeck Porträt-Studio boxes. I added black and white because I feared I wouldn't have enough material to finish this mosaic (this one is much bigger). I used eleven colours to make this mosaic.
Whether it's brown-shaded or gray-shaded, these mosaics are made from grayscale pictures. The darkest pixels are turned into the darkest colour, the lightest pixels are turned into the lightest colour,...
In fact, these mosaics are a lot easier to build than coloured ones where a dithering method is required to obtain good resolution (especially on photos).
