Need Drawing Help

[Lord Rahl]

I have characters I am makeing for games and movies for flash and I came across one problem. I can't seem to draw a open hand, Palm up. Sort of like the hand has a ball of fire floating above it. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I'm not sure if i'm clear enough but thx.
I tried to post the picture but it was to large. :P

I think that just about anyone who's seen my drawing will know that I have a huge problem drawing hands. I find they're the most difficult thing to do. So my suggestion is this:

Take photographs.

Get a digital camera and a mate, then get him / her to pose their hands in all kinds of positions for you to take pictures. That way, you can put the pics onto your PC and use them as guides. It beats trying to copy your own hands whilst drawing. :)

Yea, it's not that easy trying to draw a hand while looking at your own. I tried to post the file so you could look but it said it was to large. I tried switching it to paint from flash but even then it said it was to large. I could try again or I could try to send it by e-mail if you want. I'll try and repost it later today. I am in a rush at the moment. Thanks
