15 Children’s Monster Drawings Painted Realistically
I’m not sure if any of you have ever heard of Dave Devries, but if you haven’t, he’s an exceptionally creative artist. His site, The Monster Engine, is a look at a child’s imagination as it pertains to monsters. And what Dave does with those monsters is quite fascinating actually. He describes it as this…
The process is simple. I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Applying a combination of logic and instinct, I then paint the image as realistically as I can. My medium is mixed—primarily acrylic, airbrush, and colored pencil.
The results wind up being pretty bizarre but I have to say, it’s kind of cool to see what your doodles as a kid would look like in the real world. I’ve selected 15 pictures that I think are awesome.
Enjoy

These looks like drawings from the Scary Stories book series.
Last one is my favorite.
I should send him some of my old grade school notebooks. I got bored and doodled a lot. The thing is, I had no artistic talent. He would be painting up a bunch of misshapen Ninja Turtles, too.

I had the exact same thought - would love to see him go to work on some of my old monsters.
