Bill Watterson hands


Bill Watterson is an amazing artist. I love how he draws hands. They are so simple and even gestural but they never feel rushed.

They are always three fingers and a thumb. Why? Hope this isn't a stupid question.

The three fingers thing is just a short cut. It is easier to draw three fingers than four. Cartoonist might draw just two fingers if it didn't look weird. Some artist think this is just lazy art. Others are ok with it. I do it a lot when I'm going for a cartoony look.
