How do I get better at hands ?
I tried to learn with the Loomis's draing hands and heads, but I don't know, it's not helping at all. It's just an explanation on how the hand work without explaining much how to construct it.

How do I get the angle right, the position and so on...

Any advice or explanation ? Using my hand at refrence isn't helping much because I need a process like how to construct the head.

pic non related but i like it

It's kind of like Loomis.
It's more about how the hand works.

I just can't draw the hand when the thumb is not in front of the spectator eye

That's because you absolutely suck at drawing, go back to the sticky and get a book called keys to drawing.

If you haven't been able to do this, it simply means you haven't draw enough. Draw a few more thousand times.

How am I supposed to draw hands when I don't know how.
It's 'it like I have the method and it keeps being shit.
I think I assimilate things pretty fast, it's just that I don't know how to draw the hands.
I do a block with the perspective depending on the angle, but after that I' m stuck.

I would train at hands if I knew how to do them properly

You have to draw and think on the paper to learn. This way, you can wrap your mind, eye and hand around the concept. In the end, there is no method to drawing heads or hands or even anything. It all boils down to drawing what you see whether it's in life or your imagination.

Start with simplified cartoon hands. Seriously. Do it. I remember some artist recommending this (possibly Vilppu or some Disney guy) and it actually helps a lot. Google cartoon and disney hands and you'll get a lot of reference sheets. Copy them over and over. IMO don't overthink the form aspect at first. Just doing flat graphic hands is a good start.

Have you read Loomis? Literally same thing you were talking about.

Thanks, the method is interesting but he just show an example with a flat hand.

I tried, and got a better result, but it's not perfect. I will try to show the thickness of the gloves with a couple folds maybe

I will fix the thumb

Yeah but without method it could end it symbol drawing or something weird looking.
I understand that's it's about grinding, of courses but I prefer to have some base method (like for the head, or the proportions units

You learn how you asshat.

I personally have a shitty hard time doing anything if I don't understand perfectly how it works. Learn some basic drawing construction and practice drawing skeleton hands by constructing it out of nothing but tubes.
