Karthik finished a drawing of Milla Jovovich ('Alice' from Resident Evil) today. As with many of his recent drawings, he was going to edit/colour it in Photoshop. I had never digitally coloured an image before, so I thought it'd be fun to give it a try. I grabbed myself a copy of the original scan and both of us started working on our own digitally edited versions of the drawing!
On the left is the original scan, and on the right is what it looked like after I edited it in Paint Shop Pro. Boosted the contrast of the image while retaining all the details. Then I started colouring it using the air brush. The colouring is pretty basic, no fancy layers for the shadows/highlights and all. Once I finished colouring it, I added the splats and the text. This is the end result —
And you're probably wondering what Karthik's version looks like, so here it is —
EDIT [ 14 Oct ] : Removed the stain from Milla's arm. And changed the flat background into a gradient. I think it looks better this way.

one word- brilliant
another word for you- genius! :D
Interesting experiment, eh? We should do this more often.
Nice wallpaper you made :) Very different from what I did :)
I prefer Karthik's version, mainly because of colours and effects: it looks very nice! :) Your version isn't bad, but I don't like that stain on the arm of Milla Jovovich: you should have been more careful with stain splatting! ;)
@ismaele
true that stain on her arm looks kinda out of place.
@varun
little more attention to detail from a person like you will be gr8 :)
Shreya ji -- thanks!
Karthik -- Yeah we should :)
Ismaele, Rajeev -- When I was adding those splats I noticed the stain on her arm. I wasn't sure whether to remove it or not... I ended up leaving it the way it is.
Anyway the more I look at it, the more it looks out of place for me too. Will remove it and reupload the image in a few days.
Oh and yeah, Karthik's coloring definitely looks more realistic. Mine was done using basic flat colors, hence the cartoon-style look. Didn't want to experiment too much on my first time doing this stuff ;)
ah nice! :)

Just as others said--------->I would be buying Karthik's for sure....... The glow and clarity makes it more catchy.........but yours not less....its unfair on my part to bring a comparison between you two.....but still........ I liked the grey tinge you used for the background.....
I still like karthik's better...:-|
