Simplify the complex shape of the hand into the basic cube shape. First, ignore the fingers, concentrate on the basic cube of the palm - Hint, imagine a kitchen scrub sponge. It's close to the right size and thickness of your palm - plus it squishes and stretches. Imagine this for the palm of your hand - Note, Your palm only squishes in one direction, due to the bones in your hand, it is perfectly ridged in all other directions.
Find the smaller cube shape of the base of the thumb as it goes into the palm - note how it moves around the palm, but this cube doesn't flex. see how it keeps a cube shape, even as it moves around.
keep the fingers simple. try grouping fingers and watch the lengths and knuckles
