1. I hate drawing hair
Hands are okay, but hair does my nut. It's so freaking complicated! x(

3. More specifically, I hate drawing hands with a rightward orientation
(i.e. if stuck straight out, the thumb points to the right as you look at the front of the character). Leftward oriented hands I can do decently, actually, but mirroring is somehow fucks everything up and I have to have a million mulligans on it before I get it right. x(

2. If you can draw hands,
then you can draw anything.

Draw more hands.

7. Since I have been asshole enough to post this,
I guess I had better paint my fucking hand for my next art show.

Better meet the situation head-on.

Thanks for the inspiration.

5. LOL! I thought you were talking about "draw hands"...
...like an open-ended straight or a flush draw. Damn. I think I play too much poker! :crazy:

13. Hands are the sexiest parts of the human body.
Just think about that when you draw them. The tiny details structuring the hand become much easier to replicate.

Good luck! :hi:

14. When I used to draw
I used to hate drawing eyes. Sometimes I would leave them blank to draw it later. I always felt if I drew them incorrectly, I would change the characteristics and expression of the person.

I always felt lips to be a pain to draw too.

16. Hands and feet both suck
Whenever I would draw, I would avoid them both as much as possible.

18. Faces are much harder

One wrong curve and you've lost it entirely. Hands you can extrapolate without a reference (given lots and lots and lots of practice).
