Here we are with this hand, another fast drawing just to play with the markers.  
Don’t like it very much, but at least it looks like a hand.

Looks pretty good to me! I also struggled with the hand and wasn’t happy with mine either. But I think my main issue is that I find the hands done with all the ink and hatching a bit creepy! So maybe that’s what you are experiencing?

My main problem is can not determine what directions paint the hatching, the marks etc… never know how to do it well…
