JI hit it straight on. Most of what I have learnt has come from looking at other peoples wires and trying to make them better. ie, follow muscles better or save on polys. Look at your hands, ask friends if you can take photos of their hands. Even look on the net.
Your best bet if you really want tutes is to look for complete character tutes. Go from there.
Just a word of advice more than anything, but not only are they hard to find, but crawling through tutorials that deal with specifics in modelling rather than working at improving modelling skills wholistically is a very bad idea. Don't look for a tutorial telling you how to model a hand. This leads to the very bad practice of relying on someone to guide you through steps, instead of learning how to just do it.
Look for tutorials on how to model. Not anything specific. Just go through the tools and learn what they do and how to use them. Then look at hand referances - study hands (you have two of the best references sitting right in front of you).
