LIBRAS sign for mental confusion

[Charles Butler]

Come to think of it, overhead is not necessary, it was just me trying to ensure that one hand is palm parallel to the wall, not the floor and that they are properly in front of each other.  Eventually we will get it right.  I will write the nose line in in the normal fashion, i just didn´t want to write the hands to the side of the face as that´s not where they are to line up.  The top seemed more clear to show in front of the face, and the side view doesn´t show the hands moving in opposite directions with a relative distance between them.

Then try to write it again yourself...If you want to have them in 
front of the nose, then you need to write the nose line in one way or 
the other, either from the side view or the front view, doesn't 
matter...

If I were writing this, I would use the Shoulder Line without the 
overhead view...why would the side view or the overhead view be 
necessary?
