With the silhouette of the Crows Nest behind him, My ASL Dictionary’s One-armed Pirate Barrelman and his odd reflection show the ASL hand sign for LOOK.
V hand, palm out points forward from the cheek under the eye, like two eyes directed towards something.
The V hand is also the initial of VOIR (French for To See).
As a joke, the pirate’s face is stained from the cheap eye patch he was wearing.

When I first started my studies, I found it difficult to ‘savvy’ the different palm orientations for LOOK and SEE, as both use the same V hand shape, position, movement, and visual. To solve this problem, I recorded them as cartoon visuals and drew them as different characters to not mix them up, a Barrrelman for LOOK and a Bird Watcher for SEE.
