Putting all my characters in big baggy hoodies with their hands in their pockets because I think it’s a cool aesthetic and totally not because I don’t want to draw the hands

Once my friend's daughter asked me to draw Wonder Woman holding an airplane and then was like, "Why can't I see her hands?" and her mom was like, "Artists don't like to draw hands, sweetie"
Just switch it up and have them in a hoodie with their hands clasped behind their backs in a cool, security guard pose. Maybe with sunglasses on so you can not draw hands AND not draw eyes
I must look like a lunatic to passers-by when surreptitiously drawing people in public. When I get to their hands, the (unknowing) model is often too far away for me to make out that level of detail, so I use my own hand. So there I am - sitting there, closely scrutinizing my own hand. As one does.

I know their hands are showing, but it's just an example.
