When drawing a human hand, what initial simplification of the palm is useful?

Correct answer: A flattened box or wedge form

The governing construction principle is to begin with simple solid forms before adding anatomy. A palm is best blocked as a flattened box or wedge because this suggests its thickness, broad surface, wrist connection, and the direction in which the fingers project. Option B is therefore correct. A circle, line, or perfect triangle does not describe the palm’s useful volume or structure accurately.
