You can't draw hands? Pathetic. Try drawing feet. A million to one says you can't do it. (That's a joke, by the way.)
Found this art on youtube when I was looking for the song "Shy" by BoyWithUke. Been listening to his music a lot recently. Hence the title of this piece.
Original art was done by _somaz_ on Twitter, but, um... This work isn't as beautiful as theirs. Check 'em out, if you can.

Edit: I don't usually enter contests, but since I already conveniently made this... Y'know.
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

feet are hard
24 Jun, 2022, 3:56 am
but beautiful all around
24 Jun, 2022, 4:08 am
@razrdraws What's beautiful? Feet or this picture? You got a thing for feet, Raz? XD
No problem if you do, by the way.
Also, like... I used to struggle with hands, but now my problem is feet because I almost never draw them.
24 Jun, 2022, 4:12 am
Bro what the hell, I'm 15.. xDDDD
And I've gotten used to hands, somewhat, but feet are tooooooo hard to draw
24 Jun, 2022, 4:22 am
@razrdraws I'm joking, jeez! XD Sorry I asked.
Hands be hard. All I can advise is to just keep studying and practicing them.
24 Jun, 2022, 4:36 am
Hand studies are so fun for me, I love draing them in perspective the most, because the joint placement is so interesting. Like drawing something that feels so wrong to draw, but turns out looking so damn professional.
24 Jun, 2022, 4:37 am
and nah, it's fine, I knew you were joking lmaooo
24 Jun, 2022, 5:49 am
@razrdraws YESSS, YOU GET IT! XD I just like to take photos of my hands sometimes and sketch them in my sketchbook, lmao.
24 Jun, 2022, 6:03 am
omg amazing gallery thanks for popping by mine :D
24 Jun, 2022, 6:14 am
YESSSSSSSSSSSS Hand pics, my mom hasn't seen em, but Idk if she'll think I'm weird after looking through them xDDD
24 Jun, 2022, 6:50 am
Prisma_Nano You're welcome. I love your art too! :D
@razrdraws Lmaooo! XD

Johannes has a flash challenge that ends in a few hours, you should join
24 Jun, 2022, 6:55 am
winner gets a superlike, and is highlighted in the news/on social media
24 Jun, 2022, 7:10 am
@razrdraws Flash challenge? What's that? :O
24 Jun, 2022, 7:24 am
We had 48 hours to do it, but I guess I was late, idk if my entry will count
24 Jun, 2022, 7:41 am
@razrdraws Ohh, it was on discord. That's why I didn't see it. XD Very neat, though. I like your entry.
24 Jun, 2022, 2:26 pm
Drawing hands and feet are the bane of my existence! XD
But this looks great, Mew! :D
I know I said it before but I think you draw humans really well! ^_^
I love the greyish blue tones, it really feels like the loneliness that comes with being shy or with social anxiety
25 Jun, 2022, 2:45 am
@Shen_Gallery Aww, thanks!<3 Yeah, that was the feeling I got when I looked at the original art. It spoke to me, so I wanted to try and replicate it. :3
25 Jun, 2022, 5:18 am
Oop sorry, didn't see the reply
Thank you very much, mewsea! Highly appreciated
25 Jun, 2022, 2:19 pm
@Mewsea You really accomplished that, looks really good! :D
26 Jun, 2022, 3:05 am
@razrdraws No need to thank me. :)
@Shen_Gallery Thanks, Shen!<3
26 Jun, 2022, 8:32 am
I still haven't mastered hands or ears yet. I can imagine drawing feet being difficult. Most drawings of people seem to be portraits usually waist-high or higher. And full body usually has shoes, not feet. (Taking the joke seriously) :3
_somaz_ looks like they draw amazing characters and poses!
26 Jun, 2022, 3:40 pm
Bootiful!! > 3 < I don't think iv'e ever drawn bare feet before" hmmm. . . :'/
27 Jun, 2022, 2:53 pm
@Puzzled Yeah, makes sense. I was just thinking about that earlier too. XD Though, even drawing a shoe can be difficult if you don't know the anatomy of a foot.
_somaz_ is good inspiration for me. :3
@PoodleKingdom Thanks, Poodles! I never thought I'd draw feet either, until recently... Didn't think I'd ever care enough to learn how to draw 'em.
01 Jul, 2022, 2:01 am
Beautiful!! TALENT!! Hope you win!!!
01 Jul, 2022, 4:06 am
@CatPNG Thanks. I'll be rooting for you too. :)
01 Jul, 2022, 1:33 pm
I hope you win this weekly challenge!

01 Jul, 2022, 8:42 pm
I bet this or the space drawing is going to win. I like how this is both the color and emotion blue
01 Jul, 2022, 10:55 pm
@SamuelMK_Paintings Thanks! :)
@haloquest09 I don't give shoutouts, if that's what you mean, but I will gladly follow you! :D
@Mhafan300 Thanks! :)
@crimson_666 Yes, those are my thought exactly. I'm usually quite confident with my art, but I think Psychyr's piece might have me beat. How exciting!
02 Jul, 2022, 3:12 am
I think theirs is from something (Me, another person on here and someone I shown it too think it is) and yours has the most likes (Last I checked) im guessing you're gonna win :)
02 Jul, 2022, 5:45 pm
@crimson_666 Oh, well. You could argue that my entry is from something too. It's heavily referenced from an artist known as _somaz_ . Still... It takes skill to recreate another person's work from skratch, so I believe that deserves at least SOME credit, much like psychyr's piece. Besides, a realistic style cannot be claimed as wholly original, either. Since - y'know - you can't "make up" realism.
Do likes help determine who's going to win? I wouldn't know since this is the first time I entered a weekly challenge.
02 Jul, 2022, 5:55 pm
I only started doing wc about a month ago, but likes dont matter (i was disappointed because my bongo cat drawing had the most likes) its based on the judges opinions.
02 Jul, 2022, 6:13 pm
@crimson_666 Oh, well, that's probably for the best. Otherwise, popular artists would just win all the time if they always entered.
I remember your bongo cat drawing, btw. It was really cute. :)
02 Jul, 2022, 6:25 pm
lol, ty it only took me an hour and its super simple, yet its my most liked drawing
03 Jul, 2022, 2:00 pm
@crimson_666 Sometimes simple is better. :)
04 Jul, 2022, 3:26 pm
congrats on winning the weekly challenge :]!!
04 Jul, 2022, 5:44 pm
Congratulations :D (Knew you would win)
04 Jul, 2022, 6:57 pm
Congrats on the weekly challenge!!! I'm so proud! XD
04 Jul, 2022, 8:25 pm
Hey well done. great picture!
04 Jul, 2022, 9:58 pm
OMG, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You totally deserved it!!
04 Jul, 2022, 10:18 pm
Congrats on winning!!
05 Jul, 2022, 12:56 am
Congrats!!!!!
05 Jul, 2022, 1:34 am
Congrats!! Great work!

Congrats on winning!!

@jaspers_monologue @_Ranboo_ @crimson_666 @AutumnColors @Puzzled @Anjpr @CatPNG @LoonieEvie @razrdraws @brettzter @Rubber_Ducky
Thank you, all. I'm still trying to figure out whether I should feel happy about this. Since I didn't learn to draw to win in contests, it doesn't feel much like an achievement. But I do know that I'm very fortunate and grateful to have so many nice people supporting me, even if I may not deserve it. And I know that makes me happy, at least.
Thanks again! :)
05 Jul, 2022, 2:17 pm
In a contest there has to be a winner and people who don't win, you just happened to be the winner :D thanks for doing great art
05 Jul, 2022, 4:23 pm
@crimson_666 Oh, I know that. It just doesn't feel like a milestone to me, if that makes sense. So, I have a hard time feeling happy about it. I wanted to win, sure, but for what reason? For the fun of it, I guess?
Maybe I'm too focused on progress and just need to cut loose every once in awhile.
Thanks for your kind words and encouragement!
05 Jul, 2022, 4:55 pm
No problem :)
05 Jul, 2022, 5:10 pm
Dude, no worries, everyone who loses here is always happy for the winner! It's all in good fun, after all. No losses.
05 Jul, 2022, 7:22 pm
Congratulations for winning the Only Blue Competition! You did Great! Excellent Work! Clap, Clap, Clap Clap!
06 Jul, 2022, 10:35 am
@Mewsea: You definitely deserve it!!! I think the entirety of this comment section is proof of that. (I'm scrolling through a sea of text XoX) And of course be happy for this! Why? Why not?! XD
And if your still not happy then I'll be happy for you, because (at least to me), this weekly challenge was fun, from beginning to end! >u<
08 Jul, 2022, 9:18 pm
Congratulations!
27 Jul, 2022, 1:47 am
@hannahwallbank Clap, clap, clap! Thank you! :D
@Puzzled You're too sweet. Thank you. <3
@GDMinty1 Thanks, bruv. XD
@Esmedoesweirdart Thank you!
01 Aug, 2022, 2:03 am
@GDMinty1 Lol, it's okay. I make typos all the time. xD
@TaterTotNaz Yesss, another boywithuke fan! You've got great taste! Toxic is probabaly my favorite too. But I also really like Understand and Two Moons. It's so hard for me to pick a favorite!
18 Nov, 2022, 3:44 am
@You_local_demon Sorry that I'm late with this reply. I took a break from Colors for months and am still trying to settle back in.
Anyway! I'm very happy to know that you like my art! And please, don't get discouraged. It's not about being good; it's about the journey it takes to get there. And if that doesn't make you happy, then the journey isn't worth it, in my opinion.
You'll get good if you don't give up. Just you wait and see!
I'll be cheering you on!
