This is a drawing my daughter created on an iPad when she was 7. Those were characters from the life-action Disney movie "Homebound": https://movies.disney.com/homeward-bound-the-incredible-journey So she didn't copy the characters, she created her own cartoon version of the animals herself, which is already quite impressive. The interesting part is HOW she created the drawing: She used LAYERS to create base sketches, coloring etc. I never explained anything about layers to her. I know that no one else did. She figured it out all by herself.

From @Warum58 - this is a great documentary about being wealthy in the 1960s. Most people don't realize what an unbelievable progress this represented compared to the living conditions of humanity for the entire history of humanity. Even nobility didn't live as well as they could not easily travel, didn't have access to modern medicine - even just antibiotics - let alone dental care, or comforts such as air conditioning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_fK-hyOIFM
