Hello Anny and Everyone!
There are several ways to show one hand or arm in front of the other.

There are now 3 versions in your SignPuddle...See number 2 in the  
attached...In this case, I have darkened the arm line that is closer  
to the chest...Plus, if you write the arrows crossing each other,  
that can also help to make it clearer...I hope to improve the arrows  
in the IMWA later, to show that one arrow is in front of the  
other...that will also help...but just darkening the arm line is  
enough to read it well...
