Amanda, The series with the cards and at the piano see to be the stronger ones, to me - there is more interaction and the hands are grounded in a context better. I would suggest you be careful with how much you push the bend in the last joint of each digit - it tends to make hands look gnarly and disfigured - witch-like, even. Try to work as loosely as you would with an entire figure and take advantage of line weight variety. Don't be afraid to show more of the structural lines within the forms - these are sketches.

I really like these, especially the top set of hands with the cards. You have a very nice style.
