How to Make a Hand Shadow Dog
Hand Position Reference
Instructions
- Close the fingers: Hold all four fingers close together.
- Curl the snout: Curl your index finger inward to shape the dog's nose.
- Lift the ear: Raise your thumb slightly so it reads as the ear.
- Animate the mouth: Keep the other fingers close together, then open and close the gap between your ring finger and pinky by moving the pinky a little.
- Add an eye if you want: Twist the curled index finger up slightly to create a visible eye.
This same silhouette can also read as a wolf or fox depending on the angle and movement.
