 I think getting the hang of these things. Did this for the Kate Winslet challenge on glamour.with-you.org. You can view the original there. AND IT'S ONLY MY SECOND! Redid the skin, made the hair a little redder.

I think it's great but like mizz_americaz said, the skin tone's too dull.

^ I didn't use a brush, I used the pen tool. I saw it before but didn't feel like fixing it.
QUOTE(mizz_americaz @ Dec 7 2005, 9:58 PM) edit- did you use 2 diff colors for the hair? coool  Yeah, I did. I had a blonde base and overlayed with with red to create the strawberry blonde look you see before you. |

 What? Group: Member Posts: 709 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 92,823 |
Very nice, I can't do colorizations for the life of me so I am really unable to offer any advice on how to improve it. So I'll just join the general choir of "I LOVE IT!"
 Good Job. |

I love her skin tone! It's like, olive-y. :] Which is perfect! After seeing this, I want to dye my hair that color.. Or have my hair turn out that way. It's like, a Rosey shade with natural highlights. So pretty... :]
http://glamour.with-you.org/kate03.jpg ^ You colorized from that stock picture? OMG...  *GLOMPS CARRIE*

Christina - Yep, that's the picture. Thanks for the glompage
And thanks for the compliment, Stephie! QUOTE(bby_cutie @ Dec 7 2005, 10:17 PM) I think it's great but like mizz_americaz said, the skin tone's too dull. Alright, let me explain this: The title of the piece is "Strawberries and Cream." Strawberries because her hair is a strawberry blonde and cream because I intentionally made her skin pale and cream-ish. It's so it's not "dull." |

The hair looks tons awesome. =)
About the skin being "dull", as much as I understand your concept, I still agree a bit with bby_cutie and Maryland. You can make more vibrant, realistic colour shades while still maintaining a pale sort of feel. Personally I think the skin's a bit on the yellow/greenish side. Oh, and another tip. Bumping up contrast makes a piece POP majorly. =) It looks awesome, really really awesome for a second colourization, Carrie! |

Whoa, you did an amazing job colorizing that Carrie!
I didn't even know it was Kate Winslet until I read it at the bottom. Beautiful job! The color is gorgeous. I love the title too :) |

that's really good for your second, good job! it looks better now after you redid it. there could be a bit more contrast between the hair and the skin though.
