This Artist Uses Perfect Face Contour To Make Well-Known Characters Look More Human-Like (14 Pics)
Interview With ArtistWe believe that most of you have tried to imagine how Voldemort would look if he had a 'normal' nose. Well, let us introduce you to Ronald Restituyo, a talented artist from Jarabacoa (Dominican Republic) and the creator of @dailyart who goes far beyond that. He recreates the faces of popular characters in a way that makes them look more human-like.
One of the unique aspects of Ronald's work is that he uses a special contour to make the faces of the well-known characters look especially perfect.

Ursula
Bored Panda got in touch with the artist to learn more about him and his creative process. Ronald shared that he's been drawing since he was a child with school pencils, then in 2011 he started working with oil paint, which is his favorite medium. In 2019 he explored digital art and is still creating it till this day.
Grinch
Lord Voldemort
He's meant to look inhuman on purpose because he's destroying his soul.
After being asked how Ronald came up with the idea to recreate popular characters, the artist replied that he had seen some challenges on TikTok about applying the perfect face ratio to some singers and so he thought it would be fun to try how it would turn out with cartoon characters.
Mickey Mouse
Lilo
What happened to Lilo's larger eyes, rounder face, and more prominent nose? Why does she now look like some generic drawing of a model?
"popular characters... using perfect ratio" they just made it fit into the ratio. Yall take this too seriously but not literally.
It's not supposed to make her look like a child! Why does nobody understand this?
Load More Replies...so basically, you aged her up, and made her more "stereotypically pretty"... ugh.
The hardest part of the creative process for Ronald is getting a good quality end result without losing the essential features of the original character. "The part that I enjoy the most is the process while I am drawing and discovering the new character that is emerging."
Dora The Explorer
Isn't Dora supposed to be a precocious kindergartner? Why does she look like a 30 year old female lead in an action movie.
Squidward
According to Ronald, most people love his work since it's fun and somewhat intriguing to see how each character turns out in the end, "others don't like that the perception they had of their favorite characters changes but maybe later they understand that it was just a challenge and the original characters will continue to remain the same throughout history."
Shaggy Rogers
Shrek
"What I'm most passionate about is the personal satisfaction I feel inside every time I create art, it's something I couldn't explain but it feels like that's where I belong. I also really like how people interact with my work, how it makes them feel and even some feel identified in some way."
Mario
See, don't complain about the Mario Movie model, we could've gotten this. Small favors.
Fred Flintstone
Honestly, the little nose looks way less human to me. Give Fred his nose back!!!
Digital art like the ones featured here takes between 2 to 5 hours for Ronald to create as each part of the face is designed several times and then he chooses the one that fits best. "By the way, the oil paintings that I had previously mentioned as my favorites, those on the other hand take me months and some even more than a year to finish."
Quasimodo
Olaf
Velma Dinkley
Absolutely disgusting. Ableist in the hunchback's case. This should be renamed: how would this cartoon characters look like if they used Instagram filters and were adapted to model beauty standards Edit: this content with this title really disturbs me. So prettier and more caucasian equals more human like? Especially when most of those characters ARE already humans. The artist thought taking away that what made some of those extremely human, their flaws, disability, chubbiness, made them MORE human. When in reality it made them more unrealistic by sometimes adding really problematic and sexist traits. That's what's extremely disgusting about this! Second edit: it's not the artist, it's the writer of the article. The artist just reinvents characters in his own style.
Male characters: Give them a human nose. Female characters: Bimbify them!
Nah, the male characters were also "make them more muscular" and "remove anything not deemed human perfection"
Load More Replies...And ableist ... making Quasimodo hot kind of defeats the whole point of the character
Load More Replies...This entire article should be removed - it body shames, promotes the belief that all good and smart people are beautiful in a standard Western way, and promote body negativity.
I have no idea what has happened to BoredPanda. This used to be a site that promoted neat artwork and funny articles around the web. No it’s just stuff reposted from Reddit, Disney redraws, and AI creations. This post proves that BoredPanda really needs to go back to writing their own content.
Load More Replies...This artist has some glaringly obvious bias; This art is full of ableism, fat-shaming, sexism, and racism/xenophobia. It's utterly disgusting.
Most of these are NOT okay. Removing characters' disabilities, making them skinnier, and making them more conventionally attractive is NOT making them more human. This could have been a fun little article where you turn non-human characters into their human counterparts (which you did, in some instances), but taking non-perfect human characters and making them into your vision of beauty is really gross
OMFG, somebody missed the point of several of the characters entirely. And the objectification!!!! WTF.
Wow. These are awful. Just completely removes any personality the original designs had, and the the ableism and body shaming. What the f**k.
Basically just giving them a human noses, but some are pretty cool tho
You can't just keep the animated features and give them a human-like nose and call that what a human face would look like. Those seem like they belong on a different list of giving animated characters human noses. The ones where faces were drawn with realistic spacing didn't take into account circumstances such as some of them being children so adult features don't play unless you're trying to show how they might look all grown up and some characters having defining characteristics like Quasimodo having deformities, Shaggy being scrawny, and Ursula being obese. Sexualizing Velma was just really unnecessary. Most of the entries don't even fit the title at all. I think BP really missed the mark with this one.
People identify with these characters... each is tied to a memory, perhaps a common trait, and links to a time in their lives when stories were friends. Remember that extreme makeover show that broke up relationships? Yeah, changing the quirky features of story heroes is a lot like that. Sorry to the artist, but... just please keep your blender off my hero, Wile E Coyote. 😉 Cheers!
some of these are excessive bambification (why on earth everyone must be made to look like a safer or more kawaii version of the original); the image manipulator (calling the individual an artist is undeservedly too flattering to them) must suffer from some phobias (like fear of bigger noses) and is insecure (threatened?) around people with disabilities (overestheticizing Humpback) - he must be oblivious to the obvious biological and social circumstance that in very many cases disabilities are manifested through the affected individual's face, so others can find it easier to identify someone as a disabled person, which leads to such person being a less probable choice as a life partner with a view to a possible mating success - cruel, but that's life; also - anyone can get triggered the f**k they want and downvote this comment till they get their pants wet, it won't change the way certain aspects of life work, deal with it
continuing from comment: imperfection exists whether you like it or not and things in life don't always look or seem pleasant, trying to make them appear "nicer" is delusional; the "artist" needs therapy
Load More Replies...this is very disgusting and you are body shaming them like ableist he is a hunchback and making velma with model and instagram beauty standards you should be kicked off of bored panda for this
I wasn't a big fan of this article, but if other people like it that's fine by me...it's just not my thing. Some pictures could be joked on, but some couldn't be..it was kind of off-beat with our usual positive funny content.
Ursula was modeled off a drag queen named Divine, not "a fat white lady".
