C&C welcome as usual, i'd love to hear what you guys n gals think of this be as harsh as you want

THe colouring is fine except for right side of the neck where it is still black and white and the pupils of the eyes need work on but they have large catch lights so will be tricky to do i would copy just the pupils to a new layer desaturate the layer adjust levels or curves to darken them up and set the blending mode to darken and hopefully you will still get the catchlights come through from underneath but apart from that I think you have the principal and techniques down to do a Caucasian person but now the challenge is for different ethnicity groups well done and Good luck

aah fack i thought i missed a bit, thanks for pointing that out hoogle, and thanks for the darkening techniques too

trust me I have spent hours on similar things and then flattened the image etc or saved it and deleted the original psd then opened it a few days later and realised I have missed out a big patch

[Zeealex]

yeah, i know that feeling, these days i allways remember to save the original PSD copy :P


fixed! i hope :P

I think there is something I don't understand about recoloring. I think it is very pretty, very soft, and the suggestion you took about the pupils worked out well. But . . . shouldn't the skin be just a bit deeper color, more saturated? I don't know about these things when you're taking a B&W; is there an expected outcome? I'm not criticizing; I can't do this half as well.

I have a suggestion. I think it would be cool to put a little zing of radiance into the earring, a sparkle effect maybe. Kind of like the light bursts we were making for the space challenge. Just a thought.

morning clare, if it's morning where you are :P could be afternoon now :P yeah it's about 12 o clock in CA now isn't it? :P

deeper colored skin and a lighting effect? shall do!

with me there is no expected outcome, i just look at it and see if it's a certain skin tone and eye color in my head, then i try and get it down, if it doesnt work out i either redo it or go along!

and hey, i asked for the criticism :P and it's not as if you are a blunt @ss hole XD
