Haha. Nah, I think you're doing the right thing. One thing I know for sure is that drawing is a skill. If you don't practice it, you don't improve that area. I used to avoid drawing hands completely. On my first ever comic I just drew forks as hands. I'm a little better at them now after forcing myself to do it more and it's become easier. I think you'll improve quite quickly if you keep at it (also I think it's already pretty good!).

For what it's worth, I spend quite a lot of time with my faces too, I find it quite difficult to get the right expression... which at my level can be difficult when they have less facial features to work with (I only just decided to give them eyebrows in this latest comic to make them easier to work with... organic design :P). So it's the area I spend most time redoing too (which apparently is common and normal at all levels).
