The snowflake is the page. Six arms, each with a small fork at the end, and it wants a fine point or the arms merge into a blob. Everything else is broad: the braid, the long dress, the sleeve. Pale blue over the dress and white left bare on the snowflake is what most children reach for, and it works. This Princess Elsa drawing suits a five-year-old. Princess Moana is the same level.
