    Ah, hands. Yes, hard to do. Whenever I've tried to draw hands (which has 
been many times now) I always concentrate on the knuckles and finger/thumb 
pads, usually making them slightly larger than normal, which seems to work. 
The nails are important too.

My drawing instructor made me draw my hand in lots of different ways.

Who would have thought there were so many ways to fail at drawing? I 
feel as if I know them all now.

[Now if I could figure out how to *avoid* these things...]

     Well, there are lots of different ways - skinny hands, fat hands, young 
hands, old hands, good hands, evil hands. There are more probably, but I'll 
leave that to your imagination Andrew!  ;)

  See above...

     I don't think you can avoid them, they seem to crop up frequently with 
hand drawing. So, practice is the answer.

That doesn't work with replicator spiders....Even shooting them is a bad 
thing, just makes more of them.

Then I'll have to wait until the old sorcerer returns, to quickly break the
spell and save the day.
