A TikTok creator has gone viral after showcasing her remarkable ability to draw a half‑face self‑portrait beside her real face using only her phone’s front camera. The clip, posted by @nyquil9, has now reached 322,000 views.

Nicole explained that she has drawn herself “what feels like millions of times,” having created face sketches, charcoal portraits, expression studies, paintings, and countless angles of her own features over the years. When she spotted a TikTok challenge inviting artists to complete the other half of their face with a sketchbook, she decided to put her long‑honed skill to the test.

The result was super accurate, even more impressive given that she completed the drawing in about a minute — later speeding up the footage for viewers — and used a Sharpie, leaving no room for erasing or corrections. She added that the viral clip was actually her first attempt of the day, making the precision even more striking.

I have drawn myself what feels like millions of times. I have done face sketches, charcoal self portraits, a whole expression series, paintings, and pieces of my face in many angles so many times so I decided to show tiktok this artistic skill i’ve developed through time. I first started posting full face sketches, but then I saw this challenge on tiktok of drawing the other half of your face next to your actual face with a sketchbook to complete it and it came out super accurate. I took about a minute to draw it but I sped up the video for ease of watching. To give myself more of a challenge, I also used a sharpie which restricted me from erasing if I had any mistakes. The video was actually my first attempt that day of the drawing challenge!
