Hands are tricky for a lot of reasons. Lots of joints, lots of delicate and complicated shapes -- and we also use and see the real things all the time so we can usually feel it if it isn't right, even if we don't know how to fix it at all (yet!). Hands are really really one of those things where it's good to learn a little and then give yourself a break to do fun things while the knowledge sinks in(!!) because it's so easy to get frustrated with them.

But! Also! I think at the end of the year you'll back on these and think "wow, these were pretty good". Because they really are! I really like that construction method (the boxy form of the palm, and the fingers in their segments) and you're using it really well for so many creative hand poses! The proportions are good, the gestures are good... gripping objects? Wow! Those are solid hands!

This is some kind of reverse version of the normal compliment sandwich where I cram my praise in-between sympathy for how tough it is. Because it is tough. And you're doing great. Take it easy, draw something fun.

Thank you, I feel like every time I reply to your comments, I tend to repeat myself, but I truly mean it every single time: Thank you. Your kind words are so helpful and reassuring. I really appreciate your insights and advices. Having someone watching over me the way you do is very conforting, your comments are the higlights of my days! Tysm🙏❤️
