Hands are honestly just so hard. There's a lot of complexity in the way they move.
I find that the big shapes to small shapes approach helps me:
Sketch the overall shape of the fingers as a group (tends to follow the curve of the knuckles)
Then find the midpoint curve (first knuckle), then fingers.

Hex has been drawing some excellent technical hands recently, if you need inspiration
How do you fit in doing art during busy times?
What I have found works for me is having something simple and easy to jump into. While hands are not easy, just drawing one and not needing to come up with a whole illustration has helped me stay creative this October
