Kids have wonderful imaginations, and it’s reflected beautifully through their unique and, at times, funny drawings. But have you ever wondered what it would look like if these kids’ funny drawings were actually real? This dad definitely did, and he’s making the internet a much better and way more fun place with it! Dad Tom Curtis from London runs the ‘Things I Have Drawn’ Instagram page, where he shows what would happen if children’s drawings became reality.
Funny Kids’ Drawings: The Goofiest Compilation
Tom has two kids—Dom (11) and Al (8)—and he photoshops their and other children’s fun, creative, and goofy doodles to bring them to life. The result is both terrifying and hilarious, and we absolutely love it! We really wanted to show you this dad’s newest work, dear Pandas, so scroll down, enjoy, and upvote your favorite kids’ drawing pictures. Further down the article, you will also see Bored Panda’s chat with Tom about his awesome work!

It looks like a bird with a gill having a stern conversation with the trunk of that tree. Wings on hips and all! :)

Horsing Around
“I used to claim that all the animals were real, and it took ages to find them and photograph them, although that joke wore thin pretty quickly,” Tom quipped about how long it takes him to finish the pictures.
“The length of time to make them depends on all sorts of things. The subject matter (animals tend to be quicker than vehicles); what the texture is (reptile scales take ages to get right, smooth skin is easy, fur is somewhere in the middle); and the more detailed the drawing, the longer it’ll take. But generally speaking, I reckon an average of 10 hours per image sounds about right.”
Tom said that the number of submissions he gets from other kids’ parents varies. “It’s completely dependent on what’s happening on Instagram at that time. We recently had a big spike in followers and were getting well over 50 drawings sent to us a week, but now it’s settled down to a few per day.”

We also wanted to learn more about Tom’s kids’ artistic talents. “Dom and Al are 11 and 9 now, so I can’t really use their recent drawings because they’re a bit too sophisticated and have lost much of their naivety,” the dad said. “Luckily, I’ve still got quite a few of their old ones stored away. These days, the boys are a bit more into gaming than drawing, although Al does tend to create quite a lot of weird characters with strange heads. I haven’t done Things I Have Drawn versions of them yet.”
After years of photoshopping his kids’ drawings, Tom’s Instagram account now has over 972k followers. The idea behind the account is simple (even though it takes tons of work) and something that plenty of us have probably thought about doing—that’s why it works.

Bird Or A Dog?
Tom’s journey into the art of bringing children’s drawings to life started when he saw that his son Dom drew a picture of a weird-looking animal, and he noticed that he (like most kids) draws the eyes and mouth on the same side of the animal’s head.
“The thought crossed my mind that maybe it was us adults not looking at the world correctly and that maybe the kids had it right. So I decided to take to Photoshop and reimagine animals, faces, vehicles, and objects just like kids had drawn them,” Tom told PopSugar’s Angela Law.

Moo?
The creative dad now photoshops not just his own kids’ drawings but also those of other children: plenty of parents submit their little munchkins’ doodles for him to bring to life, and it doesn’t look like the flow will stop any time soon.
If you want to see what your kid’s drawing would look like in reality, send Tom a photo of it—you might just get lucky. And if you love the pictures so much that you want something more permanent, you can always check out Tom’s book Things I Have Drawn: At The Zoo.

Maybe the kid hadn’t meant to draw a pig. Maybe it was intended as a sweet potato. The head was just added. The tail, too!

If Kids’ Drawings Were Real, the World Would be Funnier
What a goofy collection! Did this dad win your heart, too? Also, were you bursting with laughter or absolutely horrified when you saw the pictures? We would love to hear your thoughts, so leave them in the comments! If you have any funny drawings by kids, maybe you can send them to Tom, get them photoshopped, and frame them as a testament to your kids’ wonderful imagination. And don’t forget to share this with your pals and family. Let them laugh, too.
Exploring the vivid imaginations of children, their artistic creations captured through Tom Curtis's Photoshop artistry bring to life the surreal and humorous visions kids often express on paper.
Such transformations from drawings to digital reality illustrate the wonder and creativity inherent in young minds, much like the unique reimaginings presented in Tom Curtis's work.

These images were drawn by young children, and are actually incredibly well-done. I repeat, these are drawings done by small children. I would love to see your amazing Picasso's. Did you discover perspective at the tender age of 3 or 4? Perhaps you would care to share your amazing artwork with the world?
