I Asked People To Share Their Hilarious Childhood Beliefs And Then Illustrated Them (11 Pics)

I’m a freelance self-taught illustrator and I work with watercolor and ink. One of the things I love to do through my illustrations is transport people back to their childhood via storytelling.

I asked people on Instagram to share some of their hilarious childhood beliefs and illustrated them for #childhoodweek2020. These beliefs may seem trivial for a grown-up, but for each child in question, it was very much the truth and reality at that point in time.
