Using a modified version of Anubi's HoneyGB palette: https://lospec.com/palette-list/honeygb

Apparently, my great-grandfather had a broken finger which he couldn't straighten, and he'd humorously tell his kids to walk upright while showing his curved finger as shown in the drawing.

While I never got to know him, my grandpa adopted the tradition and spent his whole life telling us to walk upright while curving his finger.

He sadly passed away a year ago, so I drew this in his memory.

About the drawing itself, considering how hard of a task drawing hands can be (especially in unconventional poses like this), it looks OK. The pinky finger has a somewhat weird shape, the proportions are not really good (but they're better than in the first sketch lol).

I like how I used a single color for the middle finger on the back, making it more monotonous, which is great to avoid the viewer getting distracted by unimportant parts.

The ornamentation on the frame looks really good! I'm so happy with that.

Finally, about the palette: I'm not used to using such few colors, but I'm trying to learn to get the most out of a reduced palette. I initially started drawing using a six-color palette from Lospec, but it was darn hard.

After failing for a while, I decided to try something different: make the drawing in grayscale, THEN add colors when I was done with the shapes.

I ended up needing five tones in the grayscale version, which I ended up reducing to just four in the colored version.

(I'll continue in the comments if this thing allows me lol)
