OVERVIEW
This drawing of a hand with the thumbs up is seen from the back of the hand, which I think is the more natural view opposed to the palm view with the fingers curled in.
BEGINNINGS
The hand has a box shape, so start with a large square that is slightly tilted down. The thumb is a square with an oval at the top. The wrist is a triangle shape. Use a rectangle for the sleeve. The fingers are curled back so they are shorter due to perspective. Start the fingers with a rectangle on the edge of the square.
DEVELOPING FORM
Use a guideline for the knuckles and edge of the fingers. The guideline will curve from the top corner to the bottom corner of the square for the knuckles. The guideline for the fingers edge will start from the top corner of the rectangle to the bottom corner. Place ovals for the four knuckles on the guideline. Draw three lines for the fingers; the lines should go from the outside edge to between the knuckles. The ends of the fingers are the first joint and are slightly rounded
THE THUMB
The thumb curves back at the joint which is halfway up, so the lines curve around the outside of the thumb joint, and inward at the inside fold.
REFINING
Go over your drawing and give the outside edge a clean flowing look. Erase any extra lines.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Use shading technique to give the round appearance, and use shading to put in the veins and tendons. Add wrinkles around the thumb, knuckles, and joints,
