If children's drawings were real

Remember those drawings you did as a child? Imagine what they would look like if they were brought to life beyond our imaginations. Illustrator David De Vries turned that thought into reality and created these amazing pieces that no adult could conceive of alone.

"It began at the Jersey Shore in 1998, where my niece Jessica often filled my sketchbook with doodles. While I stared at them, I wondered if color, texture and shading could be applied for a 3D effect. As a painter, I made cartoons look three dimensional every day for the likes of Marvel and DC comics, so why couldn’t I apply those same techniques to a kid’s drawing? That was it… no research, no years of toil, just the curiosity of seeing Jessica’s drawings come to life."
