You can save yourself a lot of time and frustration if you take your own reference pics. Hands are great for this.
Set up the lighting exactly how you need it and make it look nice.
Heres one I took in 10 seconds using my desk lamp. I’m sure you could get an even better picture.
It will help you draw a more convincing pose for the hand as well.
Even master artists still take reference images for hands.
Hope this helps. Good luck 👍

Something you could try that might help is to experiment with your own hand (or a friend’s). Set up a light source the way you’d like it to be in your drawing and try to recreate the pose. It’s going to take a bit of invention because of how you pushed the anatomy but it can maybe give you a good starting point. Hope that helps!
