How to Make a Hand Shadow Small Bird

Instructions

  1. Start from the rabbit: Begin with the one-handed rabbit head shape.
  2. Rotate the shape: Turn the rabbit until the head points forward like a bird profile.
  3. Make the beak: Slide your thumb into the little gap near the front.
  4. Hide the extra fingers: Tuck the extra fingers out of sight so only the small bird remains.
  5. Animate with tiny motions: Small hops, pecks, and head bobs help the silhouette read as a bird.
