Filled with cartoon illustrations, My ASL Dictionary uses separate characters for each ASL hand sign, with some exceptions.
For the similarities of these two ASL hand signs, the ginger-haired construction worker illustrates the hand sign for RENOVATE on Page 117 and the ASL hand sign for IMPROVE on Page 79.
Wearing a yellow hard hat, my construction worker shows the ASL hand sign for IMPROVE.
The Extended B hand tapped on the wrist of the opposite forearm, then arcs up to the elbow, a measurement of progress upward.
The illustration in the book shows the ASL hand sign for IMPROVING BIT BY BIT or GETTING BETTER.
The side of the B hand taps up the opposite forearm, showing the improvement as small steps.

This post also improves the Dictionary, showing IMPROVE as a large single movement and IMPROVING as smaller taps.
To also correct the Dictionary, the hand sign for IMPROVE is not the hand sign for REMODEL. As the previous post shows, the sweeping upward motion of the ASL hand sign for RENOVATE is the sign for REMODEL (though some would say remodelling is always an improvement).
