I also find hands the hardest body parts to draw, but feet almost rival them for me.
Hands are much more complex structures with more independently moving mechanical parts, while feet are comparatively immobile; it would be logical for hands to be a lot harder to draw than feet, but I am pretty much as bad with feet as I am with hands.
My theory for this complexity:difficulty ratio discrepancy is that we don't spend a lot of time looking at feet. We are always looking at people's hands, as they are perhaps second only to the human face in communicating information. But our feet spend a lot of time covered by socks and shoes. Unless I'm at home, most feet I encounter will be covered up, and even when I am at home, I never really have much of a reason to look down there.
