Hand poses practice

After watching an Animation Mentor lecture on the importance of Hand animation i decided to do some practice with Hand Poses.

It is very important that the hands have an appealing look or pose. It tells a story all by itself. So after taking some reference hand photos and using Aia's hand to do the pose, this is the result.

Take note a lot of time spent after posing, is actually getting a good camera angle on the pose. Some angle just don't look good and some does. And depend on the rig used, Aia's fingers are really long and thin, so it is really a challenge. I can't fully copy my hand pose, i have to tweak the position of the fingers a little to look good.
