To sign 'shy', start with your dominant hand slightly cupped, with your fingers together. Place the back of your fingers against your cheek near your jawline. Twist your hand forward slightly, keeping it in contact with your cheek, as if you are trying to hide your face. Make sure to include a bashful or timid facial expression to match the meaning!
