How to Make a Hand Shadow Rabbit

Hand Position Reference

Instructions

  1. Start with a flat hand: Hold the hand open and flat toward the light.
  2. Make the ear curl: Curl your index finger down to meet your thumb.
  3. Sweep the back ears: Curl the middle and ring fingers back behind the rabbit head.
  4. Drop the little finger: Put the little finger down so the silhouette stays clean.
  5. Add legs later if you want: The one-handed rabbit works by itself, but the secondary tutorials below show how to add a second hand for legs and extra movement.
