I just have some questions about how to sign some specific letters. I have looked at many illustrations for the letters C,D,K,O,P,Q, but I find some of them confusing.

C- Do I want to make the C shape at someone, or make it so that the person looking a me sees a C?
D- Do I want to make the D shape at someone, or make it so that the person looking a me sees a D?
K- Do I make the sign so my middle finger is pointing at the person I am signing to?
O- Do I want to make the O shape at someone, or make it so that the person looking a me sees a O?
P- Do I make the sign so my middle finger is pointing at the person I am signing to?
Q- Do I want to show a bit of my index and thumb to the person or should the fist shape be pointed at the viewer?

Thanks ^^

C, D, O: These shapes are shown from the viewer's perspective. Make the respective shape at someone - do not turn your hand.
K, P: No. K is up, and P is down.
Q: Show your index finger and thumb finger down.
