the hat in the top right is shaped differently from the other hats; its top part is conical as opposed to cylindrical

Highlighted in green

The figure at the bottom right has 2 left hands! Either that or the left and right hand reversed since the picture of the actual left hand is rather small.

Correct!  snowybeagle, you are a genious- +10 karma for you

As you see, the artist Hong Do intentionally misplaced the thumb of the guy on the right lower corner, to create a focused image on the center.  You might have seen the same concept on Renaissance Art, like the one drawn by Rafael: the School of Athens.

http://img139.exs.cx/img139/5425/rafael8yh.jpg (Sorry guys- the picture takes up some kilobytes.  It's 56k unfriendly)

Another trivial fact to know about that first drawing is about what's going on in the center.  You can easily trace the Yin Yang shape (called Te Guk in Korea) with the wrestlers, as shown.  Kind of a peculiar pattern that is commonly seen on many Korean arts. 

Grrr..
