To ask what age child you would think drew this

3-8.
Eyelashes/glasses, feet, hand with fingers

Lactofull · 14/07/2025 09:00

3-5

fourelementary · 14/07/2025 09:00

4-5 actually editing to say 3-4. As although it shows details it’s not very firm or defined in the production. So my guess is a bright 3 year old

BarrageMarroon · 14/07/2025 09:01

Agree with 3-5, depending on level of artistic talent. To be fair, it’s not far off something I would draw (47) 🤣

Lafufufu · 14/07/2025 09:01

4-7
My friends 3.5 yo is even MORE advanced than my already very advanced 3 yo and cant do this yet.
(I'm joking!!!)
But my friends child is crazy smart and can do letters etc. But cant draw something like this.

MissHollysDolly · 14/07/2025 09:01

I’d say preschool/ year R age

Petrovaposy · 14/07/2025 09:01

3-8. Most probably about 5.

BlondieMuver · 14/07/2025 09:01

5/6 yrs

BeachPossum · 14/07/2025 09:02

Cute! There is a lot of variation in drawing skills for younger years. I'd guess somewhere between three and seven, but wouldn't be surprised if it went a year or so either side of that.

BarnacleBeasley · 14/07/2025 09:02

Having just received a copy of all the preschool room's self-portraits (ages 3-5) I would say 4 and a half.

TappyGilmore · 14/07/2025 09:02

3-4? Definitely pre-school rather than primary school.

Morgenrot25 · 14/07/2025 09:03

2 - 99+.
Why is it important?
My child wasn't that great artistically during the early years, but is utterly amazing now (and it's not just me, the mum, who thinks that).
If the person enjoys drawing then that's what matters.

Kittylickingplate · 14/07/2025 09:03

Between 3-8 and I think a happy child. Lovely!

I don't know but it's freaking adorable. Keep it forever so you can take it out when they're teenagers and have a little sob about how cute they were

BlackeyedSusan · 14/07/2025 09:16

4-5.5

ItsBella · 14/07/2025 09:33

You could post the finest Monet picture on here and some people are going to say it was clearly done by a preschooler.

It really depends on the child. One of mine would have drawn with more detail at three. She is an incredible artistic talent. My others without such talent would have drawn that at about 6. For an averagely artistic child, I'd say 5-6.

The most important detail is that they are both smiling, and that says a lot.

Bournetilly · 14/07/2025 09:35

5/6

Pyjamatimenow · 14/07/2025 09:35

4-5

Hols23 · 14/07/2025 09:36

DD1 would have done that at 3.
DD2 more like age 7.
So impossible to say!

zingally · 14/07/2025 09:40

4ish. Maybe 3 if they especially like and spend a lot of time drawing.
Maybe 6 if they don't like/feel good at it.

randomchap · 14/07/2025 09:43

Why are you asking? Trying to prove the child is developing at the same rate as their peers? Or is ahead or behind?

A single picture isn't going to tell you that.

dontcomeatme · 14/07/2025 09:49

About 5

RepoTheGeriatricOpera · 14/07/2025 09:49

One of my dc drew like that before age 2 (autistic and very art focused as it turns out now) the other still couldn't draw like that age 24.

Drawing is a impossible to try and guess the age of.
