Hamm's Hands

Expanding a bit on yesterday's talk of drawing hands, here's an excerpt from Cartooning the Head and Figure by Jack Hamm.

There are five pages entirely devoted to drawing hands; this is only one of them.

I don't know who, outside of Sci Fi toonists, or the polydactyly community perhaps, would be interested in drawing hands with extra fingers (figures 2.27, 2.29 and 2.30). It's more tempting, and common, to draw fewer fingers, not more.

Live long and prosper.
