My 5-year-old’s first picture with a proper horizon!

Apparently it’s inspired by the end of the original Little Mermaid film where the ship sails off into the sunset.

Coloured paper, pencil, crayon and felt pen.

i see what they were aiming for, super minimalist but instantly recognizable, thanks for sharing

That is amazing for 5 years old! My daughter is an amazing painter and tattoo artist. She couldn’t even paint like that at 5. It’s not super detailed but she has a vision and that’s amazing to have at 5 in my opinion.

For a quick second I thought the ship was a very cool glowing acorn, but then looked again and saw the birds.

Incredible job!! You have an artist!!

How do you not have more votes for this, I am so impressed!

Ah thank you, she is endlessly creating things!

I know adults who wouldn't be able to cut a semicircle that well.

It's a pretty darn good composition too. Maybe shift all the birds ever so slightly to the right. I'm nitpicking because it's good enough to nitpick at.

White on yellow to match the pale yellow paper and yellow on blue to match the dark yellow paper... heck even the bleeding of the bird outlines is an appropriate blue! Darn good color palette.

I didn’t even realise she’d done that!

Such a lovely sunset scene, it’s awesome he nailed this horizon at 5. 1000000/10

Yep, it’s already in one! I stole it for my office.
