I had a go, not finished yet, but tidied up the blemishes and backdrop. Just need to finish the face and sort out the tone so he doesn't look like a simpsons character.

nice one, I was having a problem with the skin tone too.

I was thinking to greyscale it and then re-colour.

That is the way forward I think. I was considering colour replacement tool, but only because its something I need practice with. Or masking and hue\saturation. I can't wait to see yours. I cheated with the back drop here and just replaced it. I don't like the join of background and person, but it was a hurry as we were going out.

I think if I do any more, he's going to end up looking like David Guest!

Sorry dude, I totally hijacked your thread and stole your hobby away from you. I won't do the next one.

I had to replace his ear with a random one from a stranger and overlapped it with his ear and blended it. His left eyebrow (right as you look at it) had to be copied from the left as the original eyebrow was lost to fingerprints and tea stains.

I ended up using the colour replacement tool to alter the tone of the face and then the burn and dodge tools for highlight and shadows to put some of the facial shading back to how it should look.

To soften the outline of the body against the backdrop (It doesn't look like a great separation in the original as it will have been a B&W photo hand painted) I used the lasso to create a separate layer, then select the object and reduced selection by one pixel and feathered by 2 pixels.... invert selection and the eraser around the outside.

Nice job, don't worry about hijacking! I can learn from your example. All good.
