There is something very special about hands. They can tell so much about a person – about their values, occupation, age, aesthetics, marital status (at least some of the time), even the future (if you believe that sort of thing) etc. They can simultaneously cause pleasure (stop it!) and pain. They can either be a threat or a safe haven. They are really nice to hold…
It is no surprise hands are one of the most challenging parts of human anatomy to draw. I think this is precisely because they tell so much in such a small package. This is why I love looking at people’s hands. Not in a creepy way, I promise. In an observant-designer-hungry-for-information kind of way…
