Dusan Krtolica is a talented young artist from Belgrade, Serbia. He began drawing when he was just 2 years old and his parents enrolled him in an art school when he turned 4.
Through the years, he collected a lot of books and often found his inspiration from there. Dusan loves the natural world and he has outstanding knowledge of the animal species that lived during the dinosaur era and those that existed after them. He even illustrated an encyclopedia about prehistoric animals.
“I love the diversity of the animal kingdom,” the boy prodigy told Bored Panda. “[Its] ability to adapt and change.” His parents said that the first creature he ever drew was a whale. “Drawing has always been a game for me.”
Dusan normally draws a couple of hours per day. “It isn’t difficult for me,” he shared. “I enjoy it.” And he does it completely from his 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’ll be turning 16 this June 25 and he already has 6 solo exhibitions under his belt. Check out his latest artworks below.
