What Disney Princes Would Look Like If They Were Real

Prince charmings populate fairy tales and Disney movies. Jirka Väätäinen is dead-set on painting realistic versions of these heroes. Drawing inspiration from the movies, he tried to stay as close as possible to the initial design, down to clothing and haircuts. These realistic princes look dashing enough to melt the heart of any princess (or prince).

Jirka Väätäinen is a Finnish illustrator now living in Melbourne, Australia. He has studied graphic design.These realistic drawings of Disney characters propelled Väätäinen to fame. If you visit his website, you can check them out yourselves – including the princesses!
