Here we see an example of one of the classic problems with winged characters -- especially those with BIG wings, like Angel or Hawkman. I have often joked that such characters always have to stand at the back, so as not to obscure other characters who take up less space, but there is the other problem that, with wings spread, these guys DON'T take up much space. Frustrates my usual intent to fill up the page as much as possible on these pieces without backgrounds.

The trick -- if it can be called such -- with hands is the same as with much else in comic art. Find a stylization that works. The hands in this drawing (or any drawing of mine) are far from photorealistic, but they look like hands, work like hands, and that's what matters.
