How to Make a Hand Shadow Person

Instructions

  1. Make a small profile: Shape one hand into a compact standing person.
  2. Raise the arm: Use the little finger as the person's arm.
  3. Add a nose if you want: Pop the little finger a bit higher to suggest a nose in profile.
  4. Turn it into a hat: Angle the top of the shape differently to give the figure a hat, like a cowboy hat.
  5. Try variations: This figure works best when you keep experimenting with tiny changes in finger angle.
