Not trying to show off but my DS loves drawing cartoons and I wondered if he’d good for his age?

I know these types of posts irritate people but it’s just a bit of a distraction from all the shit.

DS has been doodling today, i think he’s really good but then I would cause I’m his mum 😄

I’m guessing drawing ability is age-related so how old do you think he is?

I'm planning to get some sort of schedule in place for my dd, some art time is a good idea.

That's excellent!
I'm an artist myself and I would have never guessed it was done by a 9 yr old... your son has very confident line skills.
Well done to him!!

Can't believe he's 9!! That's a great drawing. It wouldn't be out if place in a published kids book or cartoon strip. I'm sure there are competitions he could send off to to get it published somewhere - I did that with some poems when I was a couple years older than that, and it was a huge confidence boost.

At least 60 (I’m 42 and it’s waaaayyy above my standard!)

He’s a talented little boy. Be proud!

Be proud - and encourage him. There is loads of tutorials on you tube / on line that teach technique.

They're really good, and I agree about sending off to a magazine or similar. It actually looks like one of those colouring in pages, really cool and quirky. I want to doodle now 😁

Really good, he's got some talent!

Really good! My brother was amazing at things like that, especially 3D modelling cartoon monsters out of clay. He’s now a structural engineer / architect 😊

9?! Wow! It’s lovely when they have their own style and his lines are so controlled. I’d have said 14.

That’s great for any age! There are some really good online drawing courses that are free, I believe.

9? Wow! Miles better than I could do.

I think he's incredibly talented. Can he draw a strip with a story?

He is very good

Blimey! They're very good. As pp suggested, could he use some of his spare time now to work then into a cartoon strip?

Lovely! I thought you were going to say he's late teens. He is very talented and I'd buy that drawing to colour in.

There are drawalongs on youtube that look fun.

That’s great for any age! Well done him

How lovely! I think they are great for any age - it’s a very distinctive style. Keep him at it

I was going to say 12!

Yeah he’s really good.

Love it! Very creative.

I have nine year old twins who are keeping themselves entertained drawing allot today. His drawing is amazing for his age.

Nice!

I love this! I see something different every time I look at it. Amazing details. I like the one with the eye patch best well done OP,S ds!

That’s actually quite complex for a 9 year old. I mean any 9 year old could copy something like that reasonably well but if your son came up with the concept and composition too then yes that is a wee bit advanced (say like a 12/13 yo)
