Have dodged and burn. Not a professional printer so it was difficult process to repeat.
Ansel Adams used a lot of this process to produce the 11 tones of the Zone System. While Mr. Adams tried to get his exposures in the Zone by carefully metering a scene, he also made use of professional printers who would make his prints off of annotated contact sheets.
When I shot B&W film, I had a yellow and red filter ready. I preferred the contrast the red filter gave me.
I have not touched up a shot with paint or pencil, but I did, for several years, do hand tinting/coloring my own work using oil-based pencils and oil paint.
This really worked better with fiber based paper and as that go more and more difficult/expensive to find, I gave it up.
I have printed monochrome shots onto water-color paper and produced pleasing effects.
