coloring with ps



Remember back in primary one, during art class we will be given sheets of paper with outlines of drawings to color up. Back then i can't afford a proper set of color pencils, so i will go around borrowing different colors from classmates. I like these little exercises even though my works often looked hideous!

Today it rained the whole morning and ruined my plans. So i install a trial of Photoshop CS2 to test out some techniques from a photoshop book. I saw this section on coloring techniques and i thought why not?

Someone refused to send me her photo, so i grab a picture of some random actress off the web to use as guinea pig. I converted the picture to B/W, created a lot of masks and hue adjustment layers. No idea as to what new features are available in CS2. but it does feels "heavier" than CS1.

Looking at the end results, i think she made a right decision not to let me use her picture haha. Photoshop is fun!
