First time trying tripophobia, advice?Behind finger will be redrawn.

So I'm trying to incorporate shading and shape of the finger with the tripophobia so I can cover all skin and nails in holes without the image being lost

This looks really cool! I’m not super well versed on drawing trypophobia things but I would suggest tweaking the contrast some. I think if you make your shadows darker and your highlights lighter, that will help a lot

There's a lot of shading, blending, using mixture of charcoals yet to come, this is just a draft or rough starting point.

Just so you know my kind of style I'll show you a couple if my puppets in the series I'm working on and a few others

How to I make it completely covered in holes without losing the image?
