GESTURES
Perhaps one half of the people we meet "talk with their hands." The orator puts force into his remarks by using his hands to express his thoughts more pointedly. Many public men have peculiarities of gesticulation. This is a point worthy of note when caricaturing a public man.
DRAWING EXPRESSIVE HANDS.
If you wish to put any particular force or expression into hands, use your own as a model. Your hands may contain too many lines or wrinkles; in that case draw only such lines as are absolutely necessary to make them natural, and full of bones and meat: your eye will guide you in observing the necessary from the unnecessary lines.
