HEY YOU YOUNG CARTOONISTS!
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL YOUR HOMEWORK?
If you don't do your lessons, how are you gonna save the cartoon business when you grow up?
Hands look complicated when you look at real ones. You see tons of details and the more details you think about, the harder it is to draw something.
Look at this beautifully simplified page of hands by Preston Blair.
Copy each and every one of these. Learn to draw complicated things like hands by understanding the bigger shapes that they are made up of.
Don't draw a hand by starting with the fingers. Contruct the hand by drawing the two main parts (1-the palm and 2-the fingers) in the position or gesture you want. Then draw the fingers into part 2.
If you learn to draw cartoon hands like these, you will then later be able to draw more detailed, complicated hands if you choose to.
