I normally do colourizations with Photoshop but I did this one with Illustrator. Anyone who's had experience with both programs knows that if you want to edit a photo, Photoshop is the way to go (duh, Photoshop, I know). I wanted to test the editing abilities of Illustrator.



I know there are some problems with the consistency of her hair colour and her right eyelash looks weird, but Illustrator is limited, what can I say _smile.gif She's also really pale, but eh, that's okay too.

I like it. It's very odd - in a good way!

^ Not really Carrie's fault, the eyebrow in the original would've looked that way anyway. =p

Great job considering you did this on Illustrator (I don't exactly know what restrictions that program places on colourizing but eh, I'll go with what you say). I love the colours you used! =)

Around her hairline it looks a little orangey. But I really really like it.
The eyes are... amazing <3

Yeah, you can't delete from the shape areas (I used the pen tool) as easily as you can in Photoshop (that's why the eyelash looks like that). I had to improvise feathering with Gaussian blurring, LOL, I think that was crafty. I tried to put blush on her...that was grotesque. There aren't any blending options, other than change transparency/blending mode. Hmm...what else? I can't remember, I'm on a laptop at school so I don't have a ready reference at hand.

Oh yes, Illustrator is wonderful. It's not so good for photo editing, but it's the only thing I use for my vectors/lineart/etc.

And thanks for your compliments everyone. I plan on re-doing this in photoshop and then submitting it to a challenge site. Wish me luck!

it looks really good but the eyeshadow looks to blurry unless you were going for a dream/doll effect.
