Don't see it? The flaw is revealed below...
The boy has six fingers!
When I was a kid I would often draw hands with too many (or too few) fingers, or I'd put the thumb on the wrong side. I thought I had outgrown this type of mistake – apparently, I was wrong.
This sketch became the cover of an educational book about Independence Day. Thank goodness the extra digit was caught early – that's not the sort of mistake you want to discover after a book has been published!
Final (5-fingered) art below. Thanks to Teri Weidner for her ability to count fingers correctly!

you could have always made the story around a kid with 6 fingers...
And anyway - they were 6 really well drawn fingers! Either way, good job!
one extra finger to pick your nose with??? :) nice illustration ! x kas
Thank Teri is right. That would have been disasterous! How did the great and powerful "Super Critic" miss that flaw? Must have been an off day for him...
Well, it's so well drawn that it seems perfectly natural. Great post!
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Your friend must have x-ray eyes! lol! Great drawing and beautifully colored! What's an extra digit or so when you can draw this well!?
