That might be overthinking it. Hands are (infamously) tricky to draw. It's a natural mistake when drawing to make the things you spend most of your time drawing the largest. It's embarrassingly easy to spend a lot of time drawing someone's hand or face and zoom out to realize you've gotten it completely out of proportion. To me that's quite enough to explain why hands are often drawn out of proportion.

If it was hard to write it should be hard to read?

  • If you're insulting my writing, we'd both be better off if you were more explicit (I have to admit that second sentence is a bit of a mess). Otherwise I have no idea what you're on about.
