Nice pencil drawing of my car

[machattack]

I have a 17 year old friend who calls me Uncle rod ( not really his Uncle). Hes Autistic and loves drawing Mustangs. He recently drew my car and sent it to me. Just thought I would share.

Very nice! It is good that he has the passion to draw.

That's awesome!
Many Autistic people have extraordinary talents.

Wow - very nice!

A quick question, though: was he working from a picture, or had the car in front of him... or did that all come from his memory? I know I struggled early on drawing things from memory and getting some things like proportions and details correct - it's not very easy at all. As well, he definitely has figured out how to render the various textures and surfaces - the chrome and shadowing on the car itself are extremely well done.

I hope his parents are/have been encouraging him to maybe take some art classes to help him further develop the already excellent skills he has. With a little bit of work on perspective and foreshortening, most people would have a hard time seeing it as 'just a drawing.'

What a great story and amazing talent. Thanks for sharing this with us and enjoy that precious “nephew”. Love the drawing!

WOW, that is HOT. How long did it take for him to draw that. He could probably make money at car shows.

I totally agree. I have a Grandson with a form of autism and he taught himself to play the guitar. Anything is possible with support and encouragement.

I love this! What an amazing gift from your talented nephew. You must have a great bond.

Great drawing! He could make money with drawings like that.

Very cool drawing. Would be cool to send him a tshirt with that drawing on it.
