Drawing hands is so challenging. However, it is very doable when you use these simple forms. The main one, the one that makes or breaks the drawing, is the palm box. It looks like a slice of bread.
In this video, we go over these forms, building from the palm to the thumb and fingers. We consider the gesture and a little anatomy along the way.

I think the point you made at the end of the video about adjusting the pose to better suit a gesture is very important. We're not copy machines, and sometimes the reason we struggle drawing a pose is because the pose is boring, and there's no point struggling against it, because more likely than not, when you're applying this knowledge, you're not going to be wanting a boring finished piece either.

Why doesn't this vid have much attention? It's really good

In over 10 years of studying art and drawing, this might be the simplest yet most comprehensive explanation for how to draw hands I’ve ever seen. Thank you Kenzo!

An excellent breakdown on hands. Sure, the bread connection made for a cool attention-grabbing title and opening, but this was much more than just that. For such an essential part of drawing figures, hands are incredibly complex, and I appreciate the effort you putting into making each element of the hand easier to grasp and even explaining how to address some of the more troublesome areas, like the padding in the front of the fingers. And as is always the case with a LLD video, you managed to bring it all back to simplification in the end. I'd been looking forward to the day you would do a breakdown of the hand, and this one certainly did not disappoint. Thanks again for your often amazing contributions.

the slice of bread…the egg…the chopped off fingers that are not sausage shapes..the ITT (the identifiable thumb tip)…all these nuggets (!) help us , the learner, get closer to understanding the forms in the hand. thank you Kenzo for untangling it all.

Video Title suggestion: "Drawing Hands with the Bread Slice technique" Having the words 'Drawing' & 'Hands' first in the title will help catch the attention of people you're targeting quicker in my opinion. Excellent video! Thank you for posting it.

Another great tutorial! I like the idea of thinking like a sculptor; it takes some of stress out of trying to draw it properly right away. This way it’s more like drawing it in stages, from simple to more refined.
