Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What I normally do is start with a square, add a rectangle with a triangle at the end, and use lines to mark my fingers, then I add a thumb the same way. From there you can do line art, hope this helps! Good luck!

Hello there! i agree, drawing hands is SO hard!!

What i usually do is draw a circle as a base, lines symbolizing the fingers and their positions. For example, a peace sign would be two fingers sticking out the center, then the other three curved in the middle. Then I draw a sleeve around the circle and erase the excess lines. (This helps to make it look neater and easier to progress, at least for me.) Then draw finger looking shapes (ovals with a pointy-ish tip) around the original lines, and erase the excess lines when you're done.

I'm not that good of an artist, so this might not be the best method, but it's easy to start from. (I do more digital art, so it's pretty different there) But anyways, I hope this was helpful! :D
