Silhouettes of Iconic Disney Characters Are Still So Easy to Identify Thanks to This Artist's Finer Details
What a cool concept!
Dutch artist and illustrator Willemijn has a gift for turning Disney characters into instantly recognizable silhouettes. In her long-running series, she reimagines beloved princesses with just enough hair, accessories, and signature details to make each one stand out, even without a face.
She has been creating these Disney-inspired pieces for nearly a decade, and this latest set focuses on 15 princesses and heroines. The concept is simple, but the execution makes every design feel surprisingly complete.
From Merida’s wild curls to Ariel’s unmistakable shape, the details do all the work here. See which silhouette is your favorite.
