Force yourself to draw them.  Seriously, you'll be amazed at your progress.  I used to hate drawing hands.  What I did was create drawings that had BOTH hands in them.  You can either avoid drawing them and never get better or you can force yourself to confront them and become competent drawing them

Sit down for 15 minutes each day and draw nothing by feet.  Start out with quick 10 second sketches and then work up to doing a 5 minute sketch.  That's waht we used to do in art school.  That's how you get better at doing them.  When I see people that purposely hide feet or hands it bums me out.</body>
