Counti Hand Tinted

Counti Hand Tinted

My first and only attempt at handtinting done a month or so ago. A little heavy handed but it was fun and like most things will take some time and practice to get it to the subtle level that I would like a bit more.

My daughter Counti inside an old door I took with me from my ranch in Texas. You can take the boy out of Texas but you can't take the Texas out of the boy.... or something along those lines.

Superb! The somber expression of the girl behind the non functional car door with her lace shirt and puffy hair mix feelings and timelines in a surrealist way which is accentuated by the handcoloring.
 
Rockin image, mighty fine work
 
Makes me want to try this hand coloring stuff! Very nice image!

I don't see the heavy handed toning you mention. This is really cool.
