How to sign “Looks” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Looks” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your dominant 5 hand up beside your cheek.
- Place the hand just in front of your face.
- Circle the hand once around your face in a smooth loop.
- Face the palm back toward yourself during the circle.
- Raise your eyebrows slightly, as this sign often introduces a description.
Practice tip
One circle around the face marks appearance itself, not the act of looking.
