If you don't know how to draw a simple hand or a nose, chances are you won't be able to know how to draw people that will look convincing to your readers.
Of course, you can always play with each body parts of your character if you wish. You prefer to draw someone with four fingers? Go ahead! You want to create a woman with long legs and small arms? Why not!
