Brazilian character designer and artist Julio Cesar takes photos of random people and turns them into gorgeous illustrations that look even more lifelike than the original photos! These cartooned portraits are so full of personality, the subjects could only be flattered by the artist’s interpretation. Cesar put out a request on his Instagram for people to send him their photos, and the pictures started rolling in. He turns the ones that inspire him into these gorgeous, adorable, caricatures. According to Cosmo, “It’s like falling into a Dreamworks movie.”

All his characters are spectacular. I recommend you check them out.

I wanna be a cartoon, too!
