It's a good way, for sure, but if practiced incorrectly it just leads to artists without a sense of nuance who practice very literal interpretations of shapes that often look awkward and un naturalistic.
What I'm saying is that just taking the time to look at your fucking hand and internalize how it fucking works because you can fucking see it, is a quicker way to learn how to draw proper hands instead of bullshit ring around with pre made sausage hands you copy off others just to keep the "draw every day" quota. Draw better, quality over quantity, especially when you learn. Make mistakes and learn from them, but it doesn't hurt to be smart on how to avoid them from the get go.
>>92944512It's a work method that saved you pain and time in learning.
You have eyes, use them. You've not earned the right to wield the brush, if you cannot draw what you see. And you don't need bullshit formulas to draw well, just observation, intuition, and logic.
