Miaboop:
dear god, no one tell Jeph

Hands - every comic artist's nemesis.

DSL:
I was going to say, "... and horses," but a comic can get by with a poorly drawn horse. All you have to do is say it's a cartoon horse. A badly drawn hand, though, can ruin an otherwise well-done piece of art. Even when the artist doesn't intend, viewers look to a hand to express something.

When I'd watch Jeph's livestream, I'd see him redraw a hand three, four times, almost without fail. You never feel like you've drawn a hand quite right. I do the same thing.

Books on drawing devote whole chapters to hands. Whole books, even.

Hands. rrrgh.

Or it could be like Sven's "Sheen" (sorry, can't find the damn strip). Using a word you wouldn't usually use in a place where you'd usually put, say, a "Poof" or a "Whoosh," for instance.

TomOBedlam:
One of the worst drawn hands that I've seen is in an otherwise beautiful tarot deck - one of the cards has the image on a six-fingered archer on it which somehow evaded the art editorial process.  (For those who care, the deck is the Wildwood Tarot).
