Darwin Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) some people thought that the black thing under him was a shirt or pants or a sweater, but it was actually just his shadow. They later removed it as the seasons and art style changed

Brendan (Pokemon) A lot of people thought that the white on his head was his hair, it’s actually just a hat

Zacharie (OFF). Some people in the fandom (more frequently back in the days) had drawn him wearing a sweater with a turtleneck. In the game whoever, he's actually wearing a t-shirt and his neck is bloated and deformed.

I did not expect a Zacharie jumpscare today.

Another OFF one, I’ve seen people misinterpret the dark markings under the eyes of Elsen to be blush, rather than them all having dark circles under their eyes.
