Any tips on how to improve these hands?

I know it looks really weird cuz idk how to render hands😭 partly because of the light source I’m working with. Can someone help me shade these hands correctly? (yes the blended nails are intentional, I’ll fix them later)

hello, i would like to give you some feedback but there are a few things i cant make out clearly because the picture is zoomed in. Do you mind sharing a more zoomed out version?

Ofc! I made some changes but it still looks weird as ever

This was my refrence if it helps(I just made the light source coming from the opposite direction)

Hi hello im late but i tried doing some edits. Hope they help

your reference also had very long fingers so i didnt change that

first i tried to see what the differences between the ref and your drawing were. The main thing i realized is that her right palm is visible on the reference pic where her pinkie and ring finger connect. You also didnt follow the directions of her middle and index finger (same hand) fully which is okay but would mean it would cause other small differences too

because the middle finger on your drawing is not bent like the ref, the index finger on the other hand would be more visible. So i painted that in which covered the other index finger

later i added the right (her right) index back. But also worked on the pinkie and ring fingers. I made sure all of them follow the same arch and moved her wrist a bit higher

you can also see that i added the little bump thingies on the wrists

Also the shadow on her right palm would make more sense if it was on the other side . since your light source is on the right, it looks weird that there is a shadow only on the right side of the palm wrist area

so i would either move the shadow to the left or make the whole area under shadow depending on which looks better

hope this helps 🤙

Oml THANK YOU 😭 I understand what you mean with the palm shadow, I’ll change it. Would changing the direction of the index finger to match the refrence help too? Thank you so much.
