Twice this year, we've seen some touching and impressive illustrations from Tokyo-based French anime artist Thomas Romain (Symphogear, Space Dandy, Aria, Macross Delta, and Basquash!) in the form of what he calls the "Father and Sons Design Workshop Illustrations". Romain takes the imaginative sketches and drawings of his two sons and applies his own creative and professional touch to turn them into lively anime characters. While Romain has to focus on digital animation a lot do to his work, he enjoys putting together this series as an opportunity to enjoy the basics of drawing with his kids, and hopefully give them a little artistic motivation.

Included this time are two time-lapse videos that take you through the process of collaborating with his kids. Here are just a few highlights of his latest illustrations, but be sure to check out Romain's Instagram for more.
