After trying a bunch of monotone to color practices I decided to just stick to monotone and focus on values. The focus of the practice here is hands and values. How did I do? Often my hands are either low detail or look like a cartoon.

The left hand looks good but something seems off on the right hand. When I go full screen it seems more realistic, though, so I’m not sure what feels off about it.
Thank you!
