Drawing Reference: Hands 1

Description

Anybody will tell you what a pain drawing hands can be. There really is no simple way to draw realistic looking hands. Anime and Manga is on the difficulty scale between cartoons with rounded tubby hands and simplified realism. <br />
I'm not too sure how to do a tutorial just yet, but here I have a nice reference sheet with some everyday positions and poses you find hands in. Hope it helps for now.
This is a scan from an old school drawing handbook from like... the 60's. Good stuff. Books are your best friend. ^^
