On each hand the index and middle fingers stand straight and spread into a V, while the ring and little fingers fold down and the thumb crosses over them to hold them in. The palms face the viewer. The elbows draw toward the centre line in front of the stomach, which presses the upper arms against the sides and lifts the forearms like two posts on either side of the face. The shoulders round forward, the lower and middle spine bend a little, carrying the head and hands toward the camera, and the chin tucks down. The weight rests on the right leg; the legs are part of the figure but sit below the waist-up crop.

Place the two V shapes first, at chin height and slightly wider than the face, then hang the forearms from them. Each peace sign is a palm box with two long cylinders fanning from the knuckles, plus a knob where the thumb holds down the folded fingers. From the front, the forearms overlap the lower torso and hide most of it. In the three-quarter view the near hand overlaps the far forearm. The side view, from the figure's left, shows the forward lean and how far the hands come out in front of the face. From above the bowed head looms largest with the hands peeking up past it, and from below the fingers point skyward while the forearms shorten.

More on angles and common mistakes

The common problems are elbows spread wide, which turns the gesture into a surrender; palms turned inward so the V is seen edge-on; the two fingers pressed together; and a ring finger left up, which makes three fingers read as a W. Use the double peace sign pose for anime and manga greetings, school-trip snapshots, cheerful promotional art and reaction stickers.

In Edit this pose, tilt the head a few degrees toward one shoulder and lift that hand slightly higher than the other. The symmetry breaks just enough to make the figure feel less posed, while the tucked elbows keep the gesture compact.
