People Are Trying To Follow A Viral Hand-Drawing Tutorial, And They’re Failing So Bad, It’s Good (24 Pics)
Recently, Twitter page @SatisfyingDaily uploaded a drawing tutorial clip (originally created by chay suado), showing an artist drawing a hand using soft, gentle strokes that look pretty easy to mimic. Naturally, many people immediately thought they found a hack that can make them the next Da Vinci in a matter of seconds. However, the results that they got were pretty ... disappointing, and this "simple" pencil sketch turned out to be rather difficult. To see if that was really the case, more and more Twitter users gave this hand drawing a go, giving birth to a new viral internet challenge. Continue scrolling to check out some of the funniest fails!
Twitter users are trying to mimic this "simple" sketch but the results that they're getting are hilariously proving it to be way more difficult than they thought

Of all parts of the body, many consider the hand to be the hardest to draw. Quite a few artists have stories of how they would keep their characters' hands behind their backs or in their pockets, doing everything in their power to avoid drawing them as much as possible. Yet paradoxically, they are our most readily available reference, being in our field of vision all day, every day.

As of this article, the clip that started the challenge has already been viewed 7.84M times and generated over 157K likes and 67K retweets.

I see four people, the right-most three each holding the hips of the person in front of them, while the fourth pukes over a cliff.

Obviously, looking at all these "attempts," it's apparent that we don't always see the same things.

Andrew Reyes would you rather children get no education, fail to find a job, and have no money and no home? :)

I wouldn't call that a "simple" sketch. As soon as I saw the gif, I immediately thought of all the technicalities that don't make that one a simple tutorial for someone who's trying to learn. It's just someone's personal way of drawing it. It's cool, and the challenges are funny, though.

Space between your curly cues, the length of the curly cue's tails, the angle you use, the angle you draw each of the fingertips... that's when I gave up. Lol!

It looks hard at first, but you have to keep practicing as this is the only way to improve. Drawing on the right side of your brain by Betty Edwards is a good book for those interested in developing your drawing skills.

If you only keep practicing this, you might be able to replicate the exact image, but will never learn to draw hands. A hand in a different position will still be a challenge. Anatomy is the key - knowing the bone structure and how the joints move and how the muscles are attached.

Yeah don't feel bad if you can't draw this right away...hands overall are very difficult to draw since they are so complex, and Id bet one billion dollars that this person practiced one billion times to get it right. Keep practicing peeps!! :P

I wonder if there were several takes before the artist finally got it perfectly proportionate in inking pen, if not, that's impressive!

The guide drawing is ridiculous (no thumb?), and done backwards. The nails are the LAST part of a hand to draw, not the first. Just picture the tendons and fingers radiating from the wrist. And practice, a LOT.

Is no one else freaking out about the length of the pencil lead in the instructional GIF?!!!

I occasionally teach drawing and, y'know, sometimes y'just gotta have enough mercy in your heart to say "Please, don't draw... please."

Hands are so difficult! I just finished the book "You can draw in 30 days" and they have a good chapter on hands. My drawing is 100% better at the end of the 30 days.

Okay, not easy to do but think how much harder that would have been had they added the one missing diget: the thumb!
