hand coming out of wall - roger901 - 11-21-2018
I want to have a hand appear to come out of a wall. Of course, hand and wall would be on separate layers. Can anyone help?
Thanx

This is really going to depend on how artistic you are. Can you draw everything from scratch?
I am no artist, so I might go this route.
1. Find/make a brick wall. I used a tilable pattern but a photograph of an actual brick might work.

2. To add some realism, add some perspective. The Gimp 2.10 unified transform tool works very well. When that is set up cut out a hole in the wall.

3. Give it some depth, paint in ends of bricks, give them a bit of shading.

4. When thatis done add your hand. I found a superman fist that was easy to cut out very quickly but I think finding a suitable hand with some perspective might be difficult. Back to how good an artist are you.

I' want to try to replicate the look of this sculpture with digital images.

Not too difficult at all.
1) Have an image with 2 layers. Wall is lower layer. Figure is upper layer. Like this:

2) On the upper (figure) layer, create a Layer Mask and accept the default white.
3) With the Layer Mask active, paint with black to hide parts of the figure. If you make a mistake, no problem, just paint with white to re-expose parts of the figure.

As Rich said, requires some artistic talent.
