How to Make a Hand Shadow Cat
Hand Position Reference
Instructions
- Make a fist: Start with a closed fist for the base of the cat's head.
- Lift the ears: Poke up your index finger and your pinky to make the two pointed ears.
- Choose the thumb detail: Keep the thumb tucked for a cleaner head shape, or lift it slightly if you want a second ear line.
- Add a tongue if you like: Use the thumb for a tiny tongue or grooming motion.
- Keep it feline: Slow blinks and small head turns make the cat read more clearly.
