This week will focus on the various ASL hand signs for beverages.
We start with the word for both liquid refreshment and swallowing. In this 2013 cartoon, I drew a gangster from the prohibition era. The original art from the dictionary has his eyes closed, a common habit when drinking deeply from a cup. For animation, I opened his eyes first to make closing them more dramatic. Tomorrow we will be covering the drinks inside the cups.
