    For a very quick sketch, rather than leave out the extremities all together, see the arrangement of the hand as a blocky shape, and even if the fingers are splayed, pretend they are in a mitten, albeit a stretched one. Depict the thumb as separate, as in a mitten.

    This is a perfectly adequate option for a quick pose – it is preferable to have something simple and well-formed than something developed but inaccurate.
