Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

For realistic texturing you really need a package either 2D, like Photoshop or Gimp, or a 3D package like zBrush or bodyPaint 3D. In maya you can make some fairly complex shading networks but to really get to the next level you need a package in which you can design/make/paint textures.

Also for realism you should have a look into sub surface scattering.

To texture your hand in a program like photoshop you need to lay out the textures for your hand in maya's UV texture editor, you will then save these out as an image file, then open this in photshop and paint textures onto it before bringing it back into maya to apply the texture to the model.

Thats a very brief description I know but check out google, the help files or even on this site for texturing tutorials.
