>Tons of artists just have tunnel vision and wont accept this. Thoughts?

Yes. But people want to get there through skill alone. like you said; tunnelvisioned. From the day they start chanting LOOMISLOOMISLOOMIS they enter (or rather get dragged) into a tunnel of eternal practice of fundamentals at the cost of everything. So very few artists are capable of visualizing interesting worlds (funny enough; actual CONCEPT art).

The first one that comes to mind is Moebius.
In the tunnel people forget that drawing hands well isnt the goal, it's making sure that the knowledge of drawing hands assists in the overal quality of the visualization of a story.
You do not need to draw proko-tier hands in order to make a story, rather focus on the creative process of storytelling, product delivery, design, showmanship and developing your visual library.

Once you practice based on the current design you're working on (let's say a cool glove thing gauntlet) and your visual instincts catch up to your skill and you realize "shit, my hands are really bad compared to the rest of my skills", then you draw hands. It also adds a neccesity and meaning towards the study rather then just practice for the sake of it.
