Thomas Romain is a French anime artist who lives in Tokyo. He's worked on various series including Space Dandy, Basquash!, and Aria, but his best ideas actually come from his kids' drawings. Working together in what he calls the Father And Sons Design Workshop, Thomas and his sons come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful anime drawings. Well, his kids actually come up with them, and then Thomas adds his professional touch to his kids' drawing ideas turning them into everything from steampunk doctors and snake fighters to cloud dwellers and sand golems. His doodles-turned-anime-characters are so good actually that we couldn't help ourselves but get a tiny bit jealous of nobody re-drawing our scribbles when we were little.
Check out some of our favorite drawing ideas of the bunch below, and don't forget to vote for the best!

The snake warrior can kill you by venom, swords, or diabetes from his magical lollipop.

The lollipop would probably kill you from diabetes though...

Now that I think about it, snakes and lollipops seem made for each other.

With that number of hands, why not have a lollipop while stabbing some warriors? :P

It's obvious that the son has inherited his dad's talent. Kudos to both of them :)

This child is unbelievably talented. Dad is too. But the kid is awesome. Rare to see this much imagination and out-of-the-box thinking in children nowadays.

Well it doesnt say his age so it can be a 70yr old man with his 40-50yr old son

Weird that in all these comments no one seems to realize that it is not ONE son. The father works with his sons (plural) which is also depicted in the level of work by the boys. Anyway, really terrific work by all!

I am assum Not this is more than one son, as the level of artistry is obvious that at there is at least two young lads here, plus the header says sons' in any case wonderful work

Firstly, that dad is one good drawer my god, I love those sketches!! They look incredibly realistic, I hope being some kind of artist is his career because he'll ace it. Secondly, the son must feel so proud of himself after seeing what his little sketches could be turned into xD

Both versions are awesome. I really hate the title of this article though; obviously the author has no idea what doodle means, or has a patronising attitude and no respect for the child's art. According to Merriam-Webster doodle means "a scribble, design, or sketch done often while thinking about something else." You doodle - "scrawl aimlessly," - when you bored or worried, aimlessly. Do you think that that's the case? I don't think so! I can almost see that little boy totally focused on this drawing, can't you?

Where did he learn to draw like that? I'm jealous asf. ;-; I have no creativity these days...(accidentally makes little sister into a slave to draw)

Call me weird, but I always loved to draw the desires / requests that other people had. It was priceless to see them happy with what they got from me. I think that gave me motivation to draw further and eventually making drawing my best hobby, although I already loved it when I first tried to draw at the age of 2 :)

Father and son (s) or just kids and adults when it comes to creating make a great team! The ideas you have as a kid are so incredible ...

WOW! This took my breath away! Big well done to both father and son!🙌

The kid got an amazing talent, I must say. Thank you to this parent who supports his sons' art by making it as amazing as the original.

Curious to know if dad is a manga/anime artist if not he should start his own out of his son's drawings. I see awesome animes out of these drawings. Job well done to both! :)

The dad is an anime artist. He's drawn for animes such as Aria, and Space Dandy. If you go onto the first page, there's a small bio on the father and artist, Thomas Romain.

I love how the child inspires the father's style of art. It seems to me that the father's replica is evolving with the kid's desire for the piece. To me it was harder to change my style /mood/light etc but this guy is grand. The symbiotic art artist relationship definitely helps the mastery of the dad imo. Hopefully I conveyed what I see/experience well enough. But then again I am stoned

I actually like the kid's drawings better in most cases. Imaginitive, while the father's a predictable.
