15-Year-Old Boy Prodigy Creates Animal Drawings From Memory, And They’re Even More Impressive From Up-Close

Serbian artist Dušan Krtolica began drawing when he was only 2 years old, barely able to hold a pen. He’s 15 now and has already had 6 solo exhibitions. Dušan loves the natural world, it’s his main theme. In fact, his animal drawings are anatomically correct, too. The boy even illustrated an encyclopedia a couple of years ago!

“I love the diversity of the animal kingdom,” Dušan told Bored Panda. “[Its] ability to adapt and change.” He doesn’t remember what creature he drew first, but his parents say it was a whale. “Drawing has always been a game for me.”

Dušan usually draws a couple of hours every day. “It isn’t difficult for me,” he added. “I enjoy it.” The best part? The boy does it completely from memory. “I already have a picture of the animal that I want to draw in my head, so I don’t have to look at its [actual] picture when I’m drawing it.”
