I used to draw and paint hands and fingers obsessively when I was around eight or so. So sometimes I get them right now :) Before that, my stick figure drawings had no hands at all. Or feet. So so sad. Fourth grade was a turning point in stick figure evolution.
I think I pay more attention to how my favourite artists draw hands than anything else they draw. Takeshi Obata has lots and lots of hands in Hikaru no Go, come to think of it. I seem to recall spending a lot of time studying Wendy Pini hands, though she has a tendency to leave off a finger :D
