sequential order

If the D were contacting at the finger tip, it would have to be placed further down to show the relative position of the handshape.  I like the second one, but it depends on where the contact actually occurs.

Which of these would be more correct (or did I mess up already?::smile::)?  Its a name sign...   

Do you need to copy the head?  Would it be different if the contact point on the second handshape was the tip of the index finger instead of the thumb/middle fingers?  I think I am struggling with how much detail needs to be there, and how much is too much...  I know that 'it depends' (an interpreter's favorite phrase) -- enough so you can't mistake the sign for something else, unless you're doing research and need all the details--  but when I am reading/writing, I find I tend to want to be more specific than some of the signs I see in the signPuddle.   

for example, on this  for 'come' from the SignPuddle,  I want to write it like this... 

  Because my wrists flex as the two handshapes move forward.  I am having trouble reading SW too, possibly because of the same thing...  Any suggestions?
