To sign 'blood', start by bringing your dominant hand up to your chin, similar to the sign for 'red'. Then, open your hand so your fingers are spread apart. Move your hand downward across your chest while wiggling your fingers. This downward fluttering motion represents liquid flowing or trickling down.
Sign 'tomorrow', point to yourself, and then sign 'blood' followed by the sign for 'donate' or 'give', moving your hands outward.
Point to the person, sign 'see', then 'blood', and finish with the sign for 'faint' to show the sequence of events.
Sign 'my shirt', then 'blood', while raising your eyebrows and leaning slightly forward to indicate a yes/no question.

The starting position references the sign for 'red', which is made at the lips. Combining 'red' with the downward flowing motion creates the specific meaning of 'blood'.
The core movement is done with your dominant hand. Some signers may hold their non-dominant hand out as a surface for the 'blood' to flow past, but using just the dominant hand is completely acceptable and widely understood.
A gentle, natural flutter is best for general conversation. You can speed up the wiggle and the downward motion if you need to emphasize that the blood is flowing very quickly.
