    Prodigy?

    My youngest son who is still in elementary school never ceases to amaze me. Earlier this week during class he had finished his work ahead of the other students. He asked if I had anything he could draw. So I handed him a fantasy art/anantomy art book. I showed him a picture I thought would be too challenging for him. I figured he might quit after 10-15 minutes, and then I could just tell him to free draw or something while the other students caught up. He never came back up until the end of class. In less than an hour he drew this! It is completely free-handed and 3 to 4 times bigger than the original picture he was using as a reference. His drawing is about 18" tall. I couldn't draw this well until my latter year's of high school. Heck, he's better than most of my Advanced Art high school students. If he's not a child art prodigy then I guess I'm not sure what one would be.

    holy moly!
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    That is amazing!

    Your family sure does seem to have a corner on the market when it comes to having the "art" gene.

    Wow.

    A violent picture like that could get him expelled.
    Great work thought.
    The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
