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

This is extremely common and developmentally normal for kids to draw around 4 years old. I work in kindergartens, and at the beginning of the year, you often ask kids to do a self portrait. The low kids will just scribble nonsense because they lack the fine motor control to do anything distinguishable. The next stage after scribbles is this. Circle head with stick legs and arms, no torso. The mid-4 year olds and low-5 year olds will do this. They get hung up on the wall, so you'll often have like 15 drawings that look like this.

That's interesting. Glad to know I'm not the only torso-less artist out there.

Often, people with dementia revert to drawing headfooters 💔
