Week 6 | Recolouring Black & White
The purpose of this exercise is to learn how to give colour to a black and white photo using brushes, masks, quick selection tool, blending modes and how to go about these tools to produce a decent work pleasing to the audience. 

PROCESS

I started off with Norman Lindsay from a black and white portrait and recolour it to what it is seen now, coloured.

The following is from the before and after respectively:


Then, I started on with an Asian woman from a black and white portrait and recolour it in a more advanced way as it requires masking and dragging them to our liking and to what it is seen now.

The following is from the before and after respectively:


Then we had to choose an additional black and white photo to recolour from the file shared by Mr Fauzi.




FINAL




All works can be found in Google Drive! 


REFLECTION

In these two exercises it made me understand more on the usage of masking and layering once more. It exercises our skill and sharpen them. This particular exercise emphasises the importance of the skill and encourages improvement as it somewhat plays with the modes of blending and the matching of the colour schemes.
