Kids love drawing, and coloring, but even though their imaginations are amazing and on point, their actual motor skills haven’t quite caught up.

Which is how we get drawings like these 10, of dubious accuracy but with plenty of charm.

Their dad, Londoner Tom Curtis, took things one step further and used Photoshop to bring the images to life – and in the process, made them slightly freakish (but still mostly charming, if you ask me!).

10. Nope. Don’t like this.

I don’t think his mummy likes it, either.

“What on earth have they done to me, Mummy? There's a gap in my legs – it should be my tummy!” ___ Brilliant drawing by Martha here. (Sorry if we got the belly a bit wrong.) ___ #thingsihavedrawn #penguin #babypenguin #kidsdrawings

9. Just try to flush this fish down the toilet.

He’s going to put up a fight.

8. The color choices really did me in.

As well as the pogo-stick leg.

We just saw this woodpecker up in a tree (It's looking pretty normal to me.) ___ Hi everyone. Today we’ve been doing the #BigGardenBirdWatch for @rspb_love_nature. I’ll be honest – this isn’t really the woodpecker we saw. The one we saw had two legs. And looked like a sparrow. Actually, I think it was a sparrow.

7. He’s so fluffy!

But what are those spikes?

6. I’ve gotta say I kind of want one of these.

Whose to say what dinosaurs looked like, after all.

What were pterodactyls really like? Definitely flying lizards with a big head spike. ___ Hello everyone. So – I think I’ve mentioned this before: over the past few weeks we’ve received hundreds of DMs asking us to recreate some truly spectacular creations. Thank you so much for sending them – I’m just sorry we can’t do them all. However – this week we've selected this brilliant prehistoric monster by 5 year old Eden, sent to us by @sin.unk. Thank you. (Sorry if this shatters the illusion, but I didn’t actually point my camera up in the air as it flew by. What you see here is part Komodo dragon, part elephant (the wings and tail) and part goat (the horns). ___ #thingsihavedrawn #kidsdrawing #pterodactyl

5. Monkeys are horrifying.

This drawing confirms my fears.

There’s nothing here that should cause you alarm. It’s just an orangutan with a floating arm. ___ Hi everyone. So this is another pic from our book ’Things I Have Drawn at the Zoo’. Our little friend, Amy, was telling us how her teacher was reading the book out to her class recently, but couldn’t finish it because she was laughing so much. I can’t guarantee everyone will find it that funny, but hopefully you’ll like it if you buy it. It’s a story (kind of) suitable for kids and for adults: bit.ly/thingsihavedrawn

4. The fluffiest of ducks.

I wonder if it’s still mean.

A duck or a goose? Or maybe a swan? Perhaps it’s a seagull. I don’t know which one! ___ Thank you, Amy, for the wonderful drawing. Happy New Year everyone. ___ #thingsihavedrawn #duck #goose #swan or maybe a #seagull Definitely a #kidsdrawing

3. This cow is not half bad.

Idk know what’s going on with the udder, but otherwise…

2. In the drawing his hair and face looks like a Beatle.

He or she got the eyes right, though.

Usually owls come out at night. He’s wide awake. Do you think he’s alright? __ Hi everyone. We’ve had lots of new followers recently. Welcome to you all. If you like what we do, perhaps you’ll like our book, from which this rather unusual owl comes. It could be a present for kids or for adults. It’s not available everywhere, but I’ve included a few links below. Thanks for following everybody! Lots more to come I’m sure. ___ USA https://amzn.to/2SPFXUH ___ Deutschland (Sorry – it’s only in English language at the moment) https://amzn.to/2rG43Wy ___ UK https://bit.ly/thingsihavedrawn ___ #thingsihavedrawn #thingsihavedrawnatthezoo #owl #kidsdrawing

1. Is it a car? A van?

Does it have eyeballs?

A couple of pics from our trip to Milan. A cat and a car (or is it a van?) ___ Hi everyone. If you’ve been following us for a while, you might notice these have been ‘recycled’ from previous posts. I’m working on a new animal and it’s not quite finished yet, so I thought I’d share these instead. (It was a great trip to Italy by the way.) ___ #thingsihavedrawn

I would have thought this was super cool as a kid, wouldn’t you? I mean, having a dad like that would have been amazing, right?

Which one of these looks like it belongs in a children’s book to you? I know I have a few favorites!
