Helping Hands
In Drawing Visuals we were challenged to model our hands in poses that can communicate a message of some sort. At least a set of four, and to have gradients.

Bonuses: Layout the road maps. More sets = more levels. Choosing a creative/ Personal categories.

I thought to myself how can I make these sets personal and creative? How can hands communicate across borders? Thus the first set was born, aggression and sarcasm, so they're "Helping" hands. (If you could tell I had a lot of fun naming the poses as well.) As for the second set I decided to be a weeb and have fun with it. So I did some anime hand signs from one of my favorite show Jujutsu Kaisen (I know that the Divine Dogs is technically wrong, but I can't get my fingers to separate like that! Sad times.)
While I had a blast drawing these, there was one big problem! These weren't gradient colors, at first I tried to manually do the gradients myself, with a variety of colors however nothing was looking good. So I used the gradient tool with neon orange and hot pink and now they look great, it reminds me of a infrared camera.
