Paternity comes to change everything in the lives of men. It is an experience like no other, in which they know a side of them that until then had been asleep, and that It makes them grow and live all kinds of new sensations and emotions.
On the occasion of Father's Day, we share 15 fun illustrations that capture the funny, chaotic and positive of fatherhood.
When you find out that your baby (or babies!) Is coming
Max and Colin Happy birthday big guys. I love you A quadrillion billion millions times infinity Dad.
The adventure of fatherhood begins from that incredible and hearty moment in which you know that a baby is coming and you will soon become a father. Know the news that you expect a baby is something causes a huge emotion, and sometimes even fear, as in this illustration by Pascal Campion, remembering in a funny way the moment in which he learned that his wife was expecting twins.
The first days with the baby at home

Poor little one, you've only been in the world for a few days. Everything must seem very strange and terrifying to you!
Don't tell anyone ... but I'm just as scared as you.
But the nerves do not disappear when the baby is born. They even get even more huge and you realize that you are full of doubts, as in this illustration by Brian Gordon, creator of Fowl Language Comics, of how you live the first week with the baby at home.
Dad's super powers: catch the baby before he falls
Defying Gravity #pappapermtegninger
But we have good news for you: in time you begin to develop incredible skills that you did not know you had, as in this funny illustration of Ståle Gerhardsen, in which a dad's superpower is to catch the baby during those falls of the first years .
The fun and disastrous bath time
Amazing how much water a baby can spill whilst taking a bath. #pappapermtegninger
During the childhood of the children, there are many experiences that most parents can identify with. One of them is the famous bath time, in which everything ends up being a water disaster, but your son is clean and dry, as in this vignette also by Ståle Gerhardsen.
That moment when you feel a little envious
Where the hell is MY assistant
Sometimes my children are so lazy, that some days I have to bathe them and change them myself. But despite that, I am not angry. I just envy them.
And after bath time, comes the whole drying process, changed, after which you end up rendered and You feel a little envious of being an adult and do not do the same with you, as illustrated by Fowl Language Comics.
In Babies and more Beautiful illustrations that reflect the most tender love between father and daughter When you're a full-time dad or it's your turn to stay home
Gratulerer med farsdagen.
Nowadays, mothers and fathers share the upbringing in an equitable way, so sometimes sometimes (or almost always) dad stays home with the children. And after a long day, the house ends like any home with small children: as if a hurricane had passed, as Ståle Gerhardsen shows.
When you realize the importance of routines

When your child takes a nap every day: "How heavy. Should we stop everything just to take this nap?"
When your child stops taking a nap: Oh my God, please just stop and take a nap!
Although the routines may seem tedious at times and may even cause us to stop everything in order for them to be fulfilled, when they are interrupted, you realize the powerful value and impact of fulfilling them, and as in those days when he does not take a nap everything changes.
When they play the stylist with you
make me look handsome, kiddo… she loves brushing my hair… you often ask me where do i takeee situations which i am drawing… well, most of them is my life, small details that happen every step i take - this morning, for example , kiddo wanted to brush my hair and it was quite a challenge as our hair brush is one of the meanest… #bysoosh #illustrator #illustration #jch #drawing #sketch #sketching #sketcheveryday #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolordrawing #big #papa # fantasy #boho #cute #father #book #inspiring_watercolors #love #art_we_inspire #inspiration #daddysgirl #kids #children #drawing #art #artwork # 365 #primitive
A tender side of fatherhood is that it also makes you a kind of guinea pig of your children, in those who take as their patient, diner or even, their hairdresser, as in the illustration of Vskafandre.
And when you become a stylist, you too
fashion time when she is all into fashion i have no choice but surrender and let her make me look… festive. #bysoosh #illustrator #illustration #topcreator #drawing #sketch #sketching #sketcheveryday #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolordrawing #big #papa #fantasy #boho #cute #father #book #inspiring_watercolors #love #art_we_inspire #inspiration #daddrengirl #kids #drawing #art #artwork # 365 #primitive
And what happens when your children wrap you in their games? Well, you also play! Y you follow with humor and love each and every one of its follies and occurrences, like this dad who, together with his daughter, plays the stylist, doing hairstyles and letting himself place ties in his hair.
Your duties are now YOUR duties
And here I thought my homework days were behind me ...
What they say: I have to do a project for the school.
What it means: You have to do a project for the school.
And of course, with paternity eventually come the happy duties and school projects, which although they are the responsibility of your children, on many occasions you will end up doing most of the work, as illustrated by Fowl Language Comics.
In Babies and more The most fun viral video of parents and babies with which you will die of tendernessThose chaotic days at home when everything comes together
The good ole days. #pascalcampion #parenting #parenthood #illustration
There is something that is safe for most families: there will be chaotic days when everything comes together at home, there are a thousand pending to do and each child has a different and urgent request, as in this funny illustration of Pascal Campion of any given day of a family.
And those days when everything turns it into something positive
cast art… There is rarely an artist who is as fearless, innovative, impressive and creative as a three year old… this is one of the illustrations I drew exclusively for Dad by my side book and I am very happy that now, when the book is out there in the world, I can finally start showing you those pieces. To keep a secret for me is close to impossible. (Yet, i managed.)… #Bysoosh #illustrator #illustration #funny #drawing #sketch #sketching #toddler #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolordrawing #big #papa #fantasy #boho #cute #father #book #colors #love #art_we_inspire #inspiration #daddysgirl #kids #children #drawing #art #artwork # 365 #primitive
But also, the children have the superpower to turn every event into something positive and even tender, like those days when you get sick or don't feel well and they keep you company, as in this illustration of Vskafandre.
When bedtime comes ... and you fall too
Familia.
Another thing of which there is no doubt: fatherhood can leave you exhausted. It is time to sleep, everyone gets ready, they choose a story, and when you least expect it, you have fallen asleep with your children, as in the funny illustration of Viviana Garofoli.
When they grow up and stop seeing you the same
As if I wasnt shunned enough the first time I was in grade school ...
With my youngest son: Everyone! This. Is my. DAD!
With my oldest son: This is not happening ... This is not happening.
When our children are young, they look at us as their superheroes and like to tell other people who we are. But growing up, that feeling is changing and one day they decide that they feel ashamed for being seen in public with their parents.
And those contradictions of fatherhood
My life is a rollercoaster ride of love and frustration. Come see me in Detroit this weekend at #motorcitycomiccon
Me, when my children fall asleep: "Stop growing so fast, yes?"
Me, after they get out of bed for the fourth time:
"What do you do?"
"Getting your bags ready for college."
And finally, those contradictions of fatherhood, in which you want them not to grow and at the same time you want them to be older so that you can rest a little from all the chaos that living with small children represents.
As we can see in these illustrations about fatherhoodIt is an experience that can be exhausting and leads us to go through experiences that we never imagined living or things we always said we would not do, but without a doubt, it is something that enriches the lives of men.
