This has circulated a lot, but I just noticed that the artist’s site is actually back online. Korean artist Yeondoo Jung offers real-life recreations of the often-misproportioned childrens drawings.

I’m not sure what makes these so compelling, but they are. Perhaps this is it:

Unlike European anatomical drawings of the time, which tended to depict the corpse as a living thing devoid of pain (and often in some sort of Greek pose), these realistic illustrations show blood and other fluids leaking from subjects with ghastly facial expressions.

Weemade’s a charming tumblog that features nothing but drawings by kids. It’s purpose:

we find the artwork and creativity of kids inspiring, thought provoking, entertaining, and unpretentious. We think that reminding ourselves how children see the world is a valuable and enlightening process.
