Also, my ghost-seeing fiend, don't beat yourself over for hands and eyes. They are the hardest anatomy of the human body, it takes everyone a while to learn these.
But if you want my tip, breaking the hands into shapes is what to do. The most important part of anatomy is to understand there are bones underneath. Make gestures as the first step of training and later learn muscles. (that being said, it applies to all of anatomy). Also, cartoons are about simplifying and stretching real life. The better you understand realism, the better you can do cartoons.
