Slic3r / support making

[pnodi]

Hi, i have a hard time finding out how to make supports on any of the slicer programs i find. i tried slic3r Cura and repetier. Nothing came intuative to me on how to mkae the supports.On cura i could only see bridges getting made within the structure of the model itself, nothing to support the "book/hand" of the statue. Could anyone help me find out what i do is wrong?
