Quite enjoying this colouring thing so found an image of Marilyn Munroe and went mad :lol:



Subtle but I think it works, hope you like :cool2:

Nice retouch Sir Beast

For some reason I thought it was going to be Marilyn Manson

Thanks Buddy, although I think Marilyn Manson is colourful enough, plus I don't think I could stare at him too long hehe :lol:

I think her red lips should pop a little more! Other than that, great job. I am always saddened when I see Marilyn though. She had a tough life.

Great job! subtle and nicely done. I do have some suggestions though if you don't mind.
It looks like you using a sing tone for the hair,skin etc. When nothing on a person in real life is monotone.

I'm posting an example and the changes are subtle, but you can see where I added a a dusky, rosy color to her cheeks, nose eyelids and other areas where blood flow is close the skin surface. I just went in with a soft brush set to color mode. This infuses a little life and keeps the skin from looking plastic. Hair is also multi-tonal, so I added a slight honey blonde to the shadow portions and jazzed up the highlights with the doge tool.
Like I said nothing drastic, but it pumps that extra little bit of life into a photo.

Damn that looks good, does make a lot of difference FB.
:cool2:

Still learning this type of thing but will certainly employ your suggestions in the next one.

Thank you my friend
