Just for fun! I don’t think I’m harbouring a future Van Gogh just first child and not sure what to expect at ages! So what age would you say?

My 10 year couldn’t draw that well but my 8 year old could draw much better. So I’m going to conclude that I have no idea of the age!

7? My grown up child couldn't do that 🤣 but my 8 year old probably could

4 or 5 I reckon

Never mind the age it’s terrifying! What is it?!

I’d guess 6-7 based on my own kids - as others say there are wild variations!

Overthebow · 22/11/2025 13:49

My 5 year old can draw better than that but she is quite good at drawing. So age 5 if they’re good.

HarbourClankCat · 22/11/2025 13:51

Impossible to say. My son couldn’t draw that at 21. His friend could probably do it at 3/4. There’s a reason she has pursued a career in graphic design and he has not 🤣.

AhBiscuits · 22/11/2025 13:53

My first thought was 5.
What is it supposed to be?

Deeandwizzy · 22/11/2025 13:54

4 or 5

curious79 · 22/11/2025 13:54

4-9 age range

InterestedDad37 · 22/11/2025 13:58

If it's meant to be a monster, then 7
If it's meant to be a street scene, or Santa or something, 5

Lovely drawing - looks like a cat on roller skates, leaning into the bend!

I'd say about four or five?

HelpMySocksAreTouchingMe · 22/11/2025 14:01

I think 5 is pretty young for a guess - I would say 9 but honestly no idea really. My daughter is a fantastic artist and very creative, my son can barley draw a stick man,

randomchap · 22/11/2025 14:01

Somewhere between 2 and 92

RememberBeKindWithKaren · 22/11/2025 14:04

It's giving me The Scream vibes as in Edward Munch..Sorry not sure about possible age.

Rainbowcat77 · 22/11/2025 14:04

Somewhere between 5 and 7 at a wild guess.
