How to Make the OG Open Hand Shadow

Instructions

1. Open the hand all the way: Stretch the fingers long without locking them stiff.
2. Spread the fingers evenly: Leave comfortable space between each finger so the shape feels balanced.
3. Open the thumb away from the palm: Let it sit naturally to the side to frame the classic starter pose.
4. Keep the palm broad: Flatten the palm toward the light so the silhouette reads as a full open hand.
5. Use this as your base pose: This is the clean reset shape to return to before moving into more specific animals or gestures.

Make it read clearly

• Relaxed fingers look better than hyperextended ones.
• If one finger disappears into another, widen the spacing just a little.
• This is a great calibration pose before switching into wave, peace, rabbit, or dog.
