This creator normally gets 11K views. This one got 1.7M. That gap — not the raw number — is what makes the format worth copying.
The video demonstrates two methods of drawing a hand, first showing an incorrect method and then a more realistic method using simple 3D shapes like boxes and cylinders as a base.

Why it worked
The video works by directly addressing a common pain point for aspiring artists (drawing hands) and providing a clear, step-by-step solution. The 'don't do this, do this instead' format creates immediate engagement and curiosity. The use of simple shapes makes the complex task of drawing hands seem achievable, and the sped-up drawing process keeps viewers engaged.
