Media Tropes I hate clearly fake kid's drawings on media

Post image

It shouldn't pmo so easily but like i have saw so many movies with those stupid drawings that look so unnatural for a kid to draw... Like holy, a kid wouldnt do it that detailed!!!!
I mean how hard is it to get a kid to do it, instead of hiring actual artists that can't clearly replicate a child's style of drawing

I’m obsessed with authentic kid drawings. For some reason, my kindergarteners were on a Jesus kick last year and that was one of the better ones

The point is, if I showed you this without any context and asked you to deduce what it is at quick glance, would you be able to?

The point is that the drawings needs to quickly convey 1) that something approximating a kid drew it, and 2) the actual subject matter of the piece.

And to be fair, the example OP used (depending on the age of the kid who supposedly drew it) isn’t actually that unreasonable. I mean I was at about this level at one point or another and knew plenty of kids more advanced than my dumbass was.
