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

ADVERTISEMENT

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.”

Finding time for art, however, isn’t difficult for him

“Drawing has always been a game for me”

“I enjoy it”

Dušan isn’t interested only in the living

Like many boys his age, he is also fascinated by dinosaurs and other extinct species

Believe it or not, Dušan draws 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”

He doesn’t remember what creature he drew first

But his parents say it was a whale

Hopefully, he will nurture and carry his amazing talent with him for the rest of his life

It’s so relaxing watching him draw:

Unfortunately, the authorities in Serbia are not interested in supporting such a phenomenal talent, there are many children like him ...it's sad. Bravo Dusane :)

He's incredibly talented! Can't wait to see what he does in the years ahead (and please tell me he's already been offered a full scholarship at The Royal College of Art or RISD, etc.)

I would be more than glad to be inked by this talented kid (if ever he decides to be a tattoo artist) :)

The last mixed one is gorgeous, he should publish as colouring books, so talented and such a beautiful smile

Simply astounding! His parents must be bursting with pride! I especially enjoyed the butterfly ones. I hope he continues to hone his craft, he truly has a gift.

At 15 I was struggling with the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time and this kid's making masterpieces. FML.
