To Feel has several definitions, from intuitive awareness to physical or emotional sensation, and the ASL hand sign covers them all.
Found on page 56 in My ASL Dictionary, this cartoon is one of my earlier clown drawings in full jester makeup, even on his ears. Wearing a purple suit and hat with a bright yellow glove, the clown shows the ASL hand sign for FEEL.
The Bent Middle finger pulls up the chest, a visual for the growing feelings inside.
The hand sign can be done once or twice, depending on the context of the sentence and the region. There is also no set facial expression attached to this hand sign. This clown is smiling because he is happy.
