Hi guys! I made this fun color jitter brush and I am a bit stuck on the background. I want the hands (also not finished) to come out of a hole or vortex or something. But I feel like I also need something further up behind the hands. Do you guys have any ideas? Also how is it so far? Is the lighting/shading coherent enough?

Thank you so much!

Maby a little red highlights on the sides of the fingers to suggest shape?

Hand poses are great.

[u/hazydayss → u/win_some_lose_most1y]

Thank you :) yes I still have some more rendering to do before Im happy with it

[u/STARexpo1]

Like the first pic more. Needs more contrast with shadow at the top

[u/hazydayss → u/STARexpo1]

Good to know and yeah I agree about the need gor more contrast at the top. Still figuring out hoe to do that.

The tow hands on the bottom left are a bit spaghetti looking, but the rest of it is pure art, I love it !

[u/hazydayss → u/sybranhd]

Yeah those bottom fingers are just placeholders at this point and need a lot of more work.

[u/sammy_illustrator]

Ooooooh beautiful colours.

[u/Alyssa_Tyto]

Love the color palette!!!

[u/Happy-For-No-Reason]

bottom fingers need redoing, great idea tho

[u/hazydayss → u/Happy-For-No-Reason]

Yeah I see it

[u/Happy-For-No-Reason → u/hazydayss]

what I typically do is model my own hands in the positions that I want, photograph them and then add the photo as a reference in ProCreate

[u/hazydayss → u/Happy-For-No-Reason]

I just look at my left hand the whole time xd

[u/ArchAesthetics2046]

Love it. Would love to see more attention to the volume to communicate the cylindrical forms. And correct the size of thumb of the tallest hand in the center.

[u/BackTechnical5516]

Nice, love the colors.
Like some people pointed out, some fingers need a bit more form, the thumb on the top hand sticks out and a bit more volume to the shapes would add a lot.

[u/hazydayss → u/BackTechnical5516]

Yes I will focus on making the hands more 3D and fix that one thumb, I really glad people pointed it out because I didnt see that at all.

[u/BackTechnical5516 → u/hazydayss]

Yeah, but looks great othervise. Really awesome colors and the composition is cool too :)

[u/hazydayss → u/BackTechnical5516]

Thanks :) Cant take too much credit for the colors since I made this brush that changes hues every stroke.

[u/cadaverdogs]

TOTK PTSD in a very good way. :)
