For this first edition, you are tasked with colouring this black & white picture from Holi, the Festival of Colours.

So whip out Photoshop or any other editing program and start colouring! Get creative!

why posting a new contest when i have like 19467 exams at uni... god gonna try this very hard

[Shannon]

Interesting contest, though I think it would maybe have been a good idea to use an image without a color original. Even without just submitting the original, the original can be used to make a color version that will look better than a colorized version of the grayscale version.

 

Unless that's not against the rules?

[Blanc]

I'll try, but i don't have understanded it

[Lollita]

I'lll try too ;D

[Cannabis]

I love doing this but that image is too much for me to colorize with my school schedule :-( 

 

Looking forward to seeing the entries though!

[Guppie]

This is my first attempt at colorization and it's turning out...interesting...

 

not entirely sure I'm going to submit XD

It's not officially against the rules but I'd highly discourage it. The thing is, there are so many different techniques to colourization that a lot of things are a gray area (pun not intended) so it's hard to police what's right or what's wrong. But blatantly sending me the original would be just a little too bold So it's the only thing I can fully check. But thanks for thinking along

OMG so totally down for this!!!!

I'll unfortunately have to extend the deadline a bit to receive more entries. Get colouring peeps! Extended until 22nd of November!
