Hands are one of the if not the most expressive part of the human body, and must be studied accordingly. Line weight, style, movement, position, all have to be considered when drawing hands. The viewer, can feel the interaction and the pressure which with the hand grasps. You can also infer a lot about the subject form the hands, specifically from the musculature, knuckles, veins, fingers, nails, and hair.
My hands are drawn from my own hands, either modeled or pictures, you can see the how the darker lines create a more expressive hint when looking between the middle and lower hand, denoting pressure and separation from the cup that they are holding. The use of shadow is also important when drawing and incorporating hands into a piece. In this piece shadow both denotes relative layers and faces, but also expresses dimension, note in in the middle hand between the middle and index fingers how the middle finger seems to separate from the cup.
