This Dad Turns His Sons' Doodles Into Anime Characters, And The Result Is Awesome

According to Andrew Blackburn, "being a dad isn’t easy…but when somebody does it right, it reminds the rest of us what a world-changing difference a good dad can make." It's true that a dad can do everything for his kids: ensuring they have everything they need, teaching them things that mom doesn’t, and especially loving them unconditionally. Because dad appears whenever his kids need help, he is the hero in their hearts.
The dad below deserves to be called the best dad because he can make everything better. For instance, he turns his sons’ drawings into awesome anime characters.
Thomas Romain is a French animator who is responsible for creating Code Lyoko alongside Tania Palumbo. He is also responsible for designing and co-directing the Franco-Japanese animated series Ōban Star-Racers, which marked the beginning of his career in Japan. Additionally, he founded Studio No Border. In early 2017, Romain started tweeting images he had created based on the doodles of his kids. He quickly caught the attention of the mainstream media.
His kids Ryunosuke and Itsuki are talented artists by nature, as you can see from the images. So it's clear that these kids have a fantastic chance to follow in their father's footsteps and become successful animators in the future. Inspired by his boys' paintings, Thomas redraws the figures and creates stunning watercolor images that resemble something out of an anime series.

He then refines each character and adds a few critical details to finish the illustration using his sons' original character designs. His sons would develop interesting character concepts, and he would eventually give those conceptions life. He and his boys would also give the characters names, and it appeared as though each figure had a fascinating story to share.
