Hand Tint

One day I'll remember how I did this!

Ya know, I *know* you're going to smack me for this, when we next meet, but when I saw this picture, the first instinctive thought I had was "Poor kid, only half a chest, no wonder he's pale..." - I guess now, thinking about the fact that I hadn't heard about Connor having had a run in with a shark that it's not really half his chest missing, it's his knee in front of it, right???

Nice work, overall - personally I think the lips are a little too rich for the skin colour, but I guess that's a personal choice when you hand colour...

Cheers,
Stuart

Superbly done Cathie, and the lips look fine seeing they are that colour naturally.

He is gonna be a real ladies man when he grows up.

You're right Stuart .... forehand or backhand??

Um - he's not waiting till he grows up Stewart - his mojo is already strong!!

i'm not surprised his mojo is strong, he's just so darned cute nicely done Cathie, you painted inside the lines and everything very good for someone who's 98, is this your grandson?

Oh bugger - I was hoping you wouldn't notice that!

It's a cheat really - the finish is applied to the whole image - no brushstrokes at all .... I do wish I could remember exactly what I did!!

(the lips are good on a real computer - it's just on the Mac they look too red...)

Cheers,
Stuart

I'm glad you know the difference between a Mac and a REAL computer!!

i knew that Cathie i was just foolin with ya :lol:
