Grid Nine Hand Illustrations Each Showcasing

Create a grid of nine hand illustrations, each showcasing different hand gestures. Alter the hand positions for uniqueness:

1. A hand open wide, palm facing forward.
2. A relaxed hand with fingers slightly curled.
3. A pointing gesture with the index finger extended.
4. A fist with the thumb wrapped around the fingers.
5. A hand with fingers splayed, palm facing up.
6. A gesture mimicking holding a small object.
7. A wave motion with fingers raised.
8. A hand making a 'peace' sign.
9. A symmetrical hand gesture, such as 'OK'.

Use soft colors like pastel shades and remove any brand references or logos, while maintaining a clean, sketch-like quality. The background should be plain to emphasize the hands.
