Hands sketching

About hands sketching.

A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!

Oh my word, sketching hands is not one of my strong points and therefore I keep avoiding it, with the result that it never gets any better! Is it only me or does anybody else also find hands difficult to sketch?

This is a first attempt again after many years and I've promised myself this will definitely be a daily practice for me from now on... The only reason I haven't thrown these out and dared to post it here, is as a reminder to myself and to keep a check on any progress I make.
Surely there is a secret, like maybe a certain point to start, say, the thumb, for instance...?

Please be kind and don't criticize me too harshly. Any constructive criticism and tips will, however, be gratefully accepted! Thank you.
