Why, Oh Why...

is it so hard to draw hands?! The hand drawing the hand. I remember a sketch by Terry Gilliam, where everything is perfect, a Renaissance Madonna, up to where the artist draws the hand, which is an awful mess. I love hands though because they are quite expressive and tell a lot, and they are best when it's obvious that the person in questions employs them rather frequently.
