Good start. I'd say focus on understanding how hands and arms move, you can use your own for that. It's tempting to draw two ovals for the arms, but if you look up different muscles in the arms it will greatly benefit your art. For the hands, I struggle with finger placement similarly to you, I try to break everything down into shapes and think carefully about where all the fingers would go, using references. I think the palm is the trickiest part to be honest. Good luck!

I appreciate your comment a lot! Yeah, its really reductive in retrospect, I should try just drawing the muscles as more defined parts. I appreciate that perspective! 

Hands are a definite challenge for me for sure. I think you have good advice, about breaking finger placement down more simply and segmented, im still doing ovals too much. 

Thank you for the good advice, cheers!

Puedes probar a hacer mas complejos tus guias o bocetos antes de hacer una mano, agregar articulaciones en los dedos y basarte en formas geometricas para poder ir conformando poco a poco una mano mas realista, ten en cuenta que tanto los brasos como los dedos no son de formas ovaladas o muy circulares sino mas rectas y con pequeños relieves ya que ninguna de estas dos partes son completamente rectas.
