xQc ran into a drawing disaster during a recent Gartic Phone stream when a simple fill tool error turned his sketch of fellow creator Rakai into what viewers described as a racist caricature.
This happened mid-game when xQc received a prompt to draw Rakai. He sketched out a recognizable portrait complete with facial features including teeth and braces. Several viewers later noted they could identify who it was meant to be before even seeing the name.

Gartic Phone is a browser-based party game where players get prompts, draw them under time limits, and others guess what they see. The game’s drawing tools include basic brushes and a fill bucket. That fill bucket is where things went wrong.
While coloring the drawing, xQc used the fill tool to add color. The fill spread beyond the intended area, which is a common mistake when outlines aren’t fully closed. The color spill instantly changed the appearance of the sketch in a way that made it look like an exaggerated caricature.
xQc’s reaction was immediate. Viewers highlighted his rapid-fire clicking of the undo button and his visible “oh no” facial expression as he scrambled to revert the mistake. The whole sequence lasted seconds but was enough to get clipped and passed around.
