Struggling with a few things

Hey guys! Working on this for class, but I'm struggling with a couple of things. For whatever reason, I can't get the hands right, particularly the foreshortening on his right hand. I'm also struggling with good contrast in lighting in general. Any way you guys could give me a hand? Thanks in advance! :)




Heya! I LOVE this btw... it's really looking good!
I draw digitally as well, and whenever I feel like my contrast is lacking, i sometimes use curve filters, or mess with the exposure/contrast options in photoshop! These filters can make your darkest colors darker - all the way to black, if you want! It does a similar thing with your lightest lights - it can bring them all the way up to white! You can adjust them to suit your fancy! Be careful though - it's super easy to get carried away with them lol. I find these super useful because I can build off of that extreme lighting while I finish the painting. This is just a quick fix though! It can help you study light, but I would suggest finding some good books/tutorials to study it instead of solely using these features!
For the hands, that's gonna just be studying! I wouldn't get too stressed over it - you've already got a super solid base! References are ur friend
Anyways! That's just my input! Feel free to take what you will from it - i'm no professional, so I would definitely look around for other information!
Good luck! You're doing great!
