# Anatomically Incorrect Animals The 'Things I Have Drawn' Series Transforms Drawings Into Reality By Hayley McGlone | Published 2016-10-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/things-i-have-drawn References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/things-i-have-drawn-child-drawing-photoshop-reality-10-24-2016/) & [boredpanda](http://www.boredpanda.com/kid-drawings-things-i-have-drawn-dom/) The 'Things I Have Drawn' series transforms a 6 year-old's artwork into lifelike, albeit anatomically incorrect, illustrations. The child artist, Dom, draws anything from animals and [cars to people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-labubu-project). His dad then recreates Dom's exact drawings on photoshop to create [lifelike versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle2life) of each creation. The creations are usually out-of-proportion and strangely shaped, but almost always have smiles. The cat has no neck, stick legs and a smile, whereas the bunny is a bit reminiscent of the killer bunny from 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' with its white fur and red eyes. The 'Things I Have Drawn' series hilariously illustrates children's portrayal of animals and objects, and shows that the creations are both amusing and a little bit terrifying.
