Sketch the same character with an open hand, a pointing hand and hands held behind its back. Describe what each pose might suggest in a particular scene.
Try this
Place the character next to a lost object and compare pointing at it with offering it to a friend. Ask whether the scene provides enough context to understand the gesture.
Take it further
Keep the object and background in the same position while changing the hand pose. This makes it easier to discuss how the gesture affects the scene.
