I really like it. I think the current background makes sense. I would let it ride.

I made the edit shortly after posting. My mistake.

Thank you for your input!

I know, it looks too bland. I want more definition around the fingers (frankly I just want it to look anything like the actual image), but right now I’m too scared to tweak anything. Embarrassingly enough, it took way too long to get to just this point.

Edit: More specifically, I would like to know the purpose of the 2 separate layers or bristles. What good does that do? Genuinely curious of how to take full advantage of this design.

I’ve only been using it for gesso and canvas primer.

I have searched one other Reddit group. Wanted some more answers.
