Give me some 'practice jobs'?

[Tristen Shaw]

Hey all,

I've gone and gotten myself Photoshop CS6 because I love working with photos and such and I would like to refine my skills.

What I'm hoping is that I can get some of you to give me fake jobs. And see how I handle them and if the end result is quality or if it needs work.

At the moment I'm looking for fairly simple things related to photo enhancement.

If you want to challenge me a little outside my comfort zone, that is fine, as long as you can give me a hand in the right direction.

Hopefully, with time and help, I can one day join you guys as a 'Photoshop Guru'

Look forward to working with you guys!

Ok then, here we go...

I would like you to colourize the following image to the best of your abilities. Which ever method you feel comfortable with.

 

[Tristen Shaw]

ok, here is a quick result.

Go easy on me lol.

That's a nice colorization! Although her chest is still monochromatic..

 

[Tristen Shaw]

Yeah, I noticed that. For some reason I mistook her chest for part of the shirt lol.

Here is a better one.

The only issue I'm noticing is that it's hard to color background around the hair.

Why not go to the challenges section and try that.
Your colour work is ok, but like most who do this type of shop work over colourise and over saturate, the road is long young warrior.

I will take a look at them, thank you.

How about a little clarification on my over colorizing and over saturation?

Here is another attempt, hows this one look?
