Savant Drawings

[MrRedcardinal]

Amazing. I can't even draw a straight line.

[Vaco0laaa1]

this is amazing..theese kinds has a great talent :))

[micahskelton]

I wonder what music he listens to. That's the real question!

[steviesuperstar]

mind bogglingly awesome. i wanna be a savant, my hope for the future is that all humans have the savant syndrome with out the side effects. ie we are able to use our whole brain and not just a fraction

[DaveWBedford]

Amazing work.

[slantyrock]

When is Stephen going to get to work on the new Where's Wally books?

[theonelinerkid]

savnt sare amazing...cos not one is identical..iveseen puzzle savants, watch savants, musical ones, arty ones, ones that build robots from scrap lectronics, the list goes on its amazing but sad at the same time cos they will never know what it feels like to be normal

[thaichatham]

@theonelinerkid Sad? Normal? Don't seem unhappy to me. Your brain gets about 4billion bites of info per sec. You are aware of about 2000 of them. Let alone how many you transmit. Perhaps just enjoy other spectrums of normality we can't conceive. Brings them a greater joy than just about anything I can think of in my reality, especially sharing with the rest of us. Most normal people would love 1/2 the skill and 1/4 of the appreciation. Some spend whole lives chasing much less.

[johome10]

Amazing

[fedbam024]

who the fuck dislikes this guy. hes making the best of his situation

[C0Opd0g]

@fedbam024 people who arent as good as this guy dislike him

[SuperPologeek]

240p we meet again

[trenee1977]

fascinated with savants. knew one that you could give him a highway & he could tell you every state it went through. you could also give him a state & he could name all the highways that ran through it.

[FireflyFairy1]

wow this is magnificent i love it i love the art.

[moshugari]

what a crappy drawing

[xenonnati]

@moshugari

you like trolling don't you? XD

[moshugari]

@xenonnati hahaha yeah

[xenonnati]

@moshugari

trollfive!

[AnnoyingChildStudios]

Haha innacuracies on the roof..... haha just kidding, thats amazing

[puketinho]

@AnnoyingChildStudios After god, then this brain, both we cant understand its out of our range,

[BlueEyesBlueToo]

Amazing - you are a genius Steven :o))

[SeriousJack83]

wtf is with the vol?

[patu8010]

Where can I get his drawings? :P

[MsKTMvalley]

Does Steven understand how impressive his skills are? =)

[Marilia6580]

incrível!!!

[ICExRED]

I had an art teacher who had autism but it was a very light autism..

He would look at something quick and copy it almost perfectly.

He was kind of odd in a way but it was noticeable he had the condition.

[astro15]

i would pay some serious cash for that

[majorD01]

Savant is like being good at something, bit having a,trade off

[MrSantaClaws1001]

@majorD01

However, there are savants, although few, that do not have the mental retardation, autism, or other mental conditions that normal savants have. This leads scientists to speculate that savantism is not about trading some abilities for others. In fact, everyone has latent savant-like skills. Research shows that stimulating the brain with small magnetic waves in a certain way will inhibit the left hemisphere and temporarily give "ordinary" people savant abilities.

[happyidiottalk]

Thats amazing, I dont think I could even draw my own house correctly.

[MsKTMvalley]

@happyidiottalk LOL, me neither!!

[TrueLove5201314]

@happyidiottalk I couldn't even draw my bed properly. LOL

[shadowtiger18]

I`m convinced that savants have no mental advantage other than an intense fascination of whatever subject their mastery is in. To simply meditate over things like images or numbers over time unlocks different ways of accomplishing the same mental feats multiplying efficacy and understanding. The dumb have no passions for these things therefore they remain stupid.

[Sophageddon]

incredible

[wemusttry]

I think that savants are going to be like the X-Men, but of the mind.

[floridagator3278]

Whoever doesn't like this video must be sick in the head

[craig2085]

it is truly amazing what the human mind can do and some people think computers are better now the only thing they need to do is figure out how to teach that to people the mind is the most powerful thing

[petazed]

@GiggleHz You show not only incredible arrogance, but mind blowing ignorance with your comments. There was a study conducted years ago on everyday average people about observance. A thousand people who wore non-digital wristwatches were asked, without looking at their watch, if they had numbers on the dial, markers where the 12, 3, 6, and 9 are, or if there were no markers at all? An overwhelming majority of people were incorrect in their responses. I invite you to test it on people you know.

[MizzRawrJo]

I saw that on t.v xD

[joselrico1]

This is Impresive!!

[skyarsalan]

shit, is it possible to die from envy?

[MCAMVP]

concept artists for video games are lucky that he draws from memory.

if he drew from imagination as vast and precise, he'd be able to make most of them unemployed.

[Bradsworld1]

dude, i dont even get how someone could cheat on something like this...

[eagles2727]

shocking yet amazing...what a talent

[irshmothafucka]

Now i ask this cuz i can't bealive it. WHO THE FUCK CAN CLICK THE DISLIKE BUTTON ON THIS VIDEO?! I mean we have 28 h8iest h8ers in the world,don't you think???

[bary1234]

This is astonishing. Humans can do such amazing things. We have such potential.

We cant understand ourselves at all yet.

[TaylorTotsYumm]

@GiggleHz

This is a documentary. They have to be brutally honest and scrutinise on every detail. They're not going to lie. His drawing was almost flawless. I highly doubt you could draw this piece better than him after looking at the city just once from above. Your jealousy of this prodigious savant is evident from your comment and makes you look rather pathetic. I suggest you just keep quiet and respect this man's amazing work. It's absolutely brillaint.

[Bradsworld1]

@TaylorTotsYumm i could go over this city 3000 times in a helicopter and probably still not even get one building exactly correct

[andrefritz]

awesome

[malbuono]

me pregunto que sería capaz de hacer este hombre si se le potenciasen havbilidades de interpretar un instrumento através de una partitura...por el tema de poder reconocer tantas notas o incluso retenerl obras enteras ...lo que otros nos podemos pasar años para llegar a hacer...

[anirudhkrishnamani]

how can anybody be stupid enough to dislike this???!!!!

[TypicalRepublican]

Even if it is real he got alot of stuff wrong in those drawings. This is just more liberal "equality" propaganda.

[razzia89]

Unfuckinbelieavable!! I'm blown away...

[GiggleHz]

it looks like shit i could draw better than that.

[NeurosciKid]

@GiggleHz

It's not a question of you being able to draw better than him. They drawing on it's own isn't the impressive part. Could you draw this, (better and more accurately) than him by MEMORY? He is incredible.

If you can do this too, then you are also incredible.

[GiggleHz]

@NeurosciKid i question his accuracy, and its hard to compare with such poor quality of video.

[Bradsworld1]

@GiggleHz i have yet to see YOU do something like this. or even CLOSE to what he is drawing

[GiggleHz]

@Bradsworld1 eh, ill email you some drawings?.... comon lets be honest here, cut the glib, 90% of people could do something comparable to this.

[Bradsworld1]

@GiggleHz 90% of people could go in a helicopter one time over a city they've never been to and draw every single thing just perfect? i mean, the human brain is ABLE to do it but it would take years and years to establish that ability

[guitarface0]

@GiggleHz if you're so much better than him, then why aren't you in the video? you fricking troll. get a life, bastard.

[jamick84]

So YOu did miss some details after all?... Nah,. cant hire you. )) (These people are amazing)

[MoneyBlocc868]

yyyaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy all black people arent dumb!!!...am proud...racialism jus went down a BIG BLOCk with this........(not being racist...jus actin a fool lol)

[audiomedien]

There are many professionals who run the 100 meter in 10 secs or score 30,40,50 Goals each season. Many!

But i only know one man, who do paitings like this. So Stephen Wiltshire earns it, that people pay 20.000 $ for a panorama painting.

[Aatifah]

i believe people like this are amazing. it's a shame, however, that as "thisismeandimhere" said that many people do not know about them because they are so distracted by meaningless sports. and it's so funny how psychiatrists almost always diagnose these people as being "mentally retarded" or "autistic" or as having some type of other debillitating illness and as a result people look down on them. they are capable of such great things, i admire these people, i sincerely do =)

[thefoxdude]

i don't get it, you eyes cant even move fast enough to see all those details in 45 minutes? 0.o

[peaceon1]

An autistic who has problems communicating verbally and yet a genius.

And here we have to mug up the dictionary and the thousand years worth of general knowledge to prove ourselves to be 'geniuses' before people on an interview table, all to be accepted.

The whole meaning of 'genius' gets distorted by yet another game of perception.

[lisalisious15]

AMAZING!!

im not trying to brag or anything....but the other day in class I just started drawing with my pencil for about 10minutes my mind seemed to leave the world and just draw...I still cant believe the shapes,and weird desisnes I created.

[finethenluke500]

[BillHicks420]

Damn! This is something different than rocking back and forth and counting toothpicks!

[lucaserikadams]

Beautiful. What a beautiful possibility...(whatever that means) Really truly amazing.

[HoppyNinja]

that is absolutely amazing!

[stEPHIQUE]

this was scary o.O

[kazi789]

sattelite?whats that?

[Josephguzman101]

Good man. Keep up the good work :)

[fablan6]

I am jealus of him. My social skills aren't good either, I'd give alot to be like him.

[buuuumanswife]

does anyone know which song this is??

[jm3la]

savants show tyhe true potential of the human mind if focused in a particular task

[DerAnstifter]

I bet he is unable to grasp how great his drawings are. He considers this a normal thing. For him, we are the retards unable to produce such a work.

[blazereef]

he got the number of windows right? holy shit

[electrifrying]

i want the drawing!

[SNIPERF0RHIRE]

Where's Waldo?

[tikitxiki]

id give him 100 days and still be amazed =)

[Bagl123]

he should draw my art picture for school :D

[bubjez]

he should sell that he would be millionair in secnds:D

[hockeyhatesgooglnow]

I was able to spot a small error that wasn't mentioned, but other than that it was probably extremely accurate.

[D1Champ08]

that drawing should be worth millions

[waverider201]

Extraordinary talent right here.

[parade]

@stevekim123 Or he is just a decent artist, which is a skill you don't need to be a savant to have.

[morro765060]

fuk

[midgetbeast31]

i couldn't draw that well even i had all the time in the world and was able to trace it or something to help out.

[Mandragara]

The true power of the human mind, its a shame evolution doesn't drive us in such beautiful direction.

[kalimul]

Somebody pay this guy a few million dollars and use him for jobs suited for such a genious mind. Drawing what was already constructed is just an exercise, i'm sure he can be put to better use, i'm just saying, why waste his Godly gift.

[LIGHTRONIX]

too bad they didn't have min around 2000 years ago to document the past. damn photographs ruined this guy....

[jahooey123]

oh my fucking jesus god.

[CaddyQuinn]

way back when we lost our photographic memory to learn language prob why he can talk well but can remember all that shit? lol

[Dumass88]

Goes to show what the human brain is capable of, to bad these amazing skills usually only get triggered by a variate of neurological disabilities.

[Slayerfan84]

That's not a drawing! That's a fucking MASTERPIECE!

[tancam13]

incredible man

[freetoskate4life]

wat a boss

[hkj73]

He should be workin for the CIA!

[thecolourain]

It's not skills they handle with, it's something that comes from the disease, you can never be good at this.

[thecolourain]

If you don't get it i'll tell you. This man has got a disease, it's like photographical mind. They collect like an picture of the view and saves it, then it never disappear.

[stealthstyle1]

@thecolourain this is something totaly different !

every1 can store a picture in his head

but this guy can do it to extreme details

it is idd something like that

but to the extreme

what he has is a gift and a curse

like a trade with the devil i guess

[thisismeandimhere]

I don't get it. Why do those footballers get millions of pounds each year, and they get their names and faces plastered everywhere, and I've never heard of this guy before? I'd much rather hear about this guy than those bloody footballers.

[Blu3DaryuS]

@thisismeandimhere I agree with you , They are running after a round ball , and they are fucking rich , and this gay . wtf ?

[BarrellyRoll]

@thisismeandimhere I agree.

Seems people these days don't value this kind of talent anymore

[TheArtCrazyGuy]

@thisismeandimhere because, the world would rather drool over what they could be, then someone who could actually do something amazing.

[NnintendoGamer4911]

@thisismeandimhere I agree, I get annoyed when people at my school don't care about other things and football is there only intrest. I don't like to brag but i have a small talant with art, from my farther. But none of my friends care.

[DavieDave59]

@thisismeandimhere They are products. People buy the products. They get their share.

[duronjoshua]

@thisismeandimhere u mean soccer players..lol jk

[91Kickflip]

@thisismeandimhere because savants have authism. they dont know how to handle social contatcs. its a disability. how should they interview him or sth. like that? all you can do is watch him draw. and ypu cant make money out of that. so thats why they dont show more of him =/

[91Kickflip]

@thisismeandimhere oh fuck they DO interview him xD sry man..i was totaly talking bullshit right now

[MrRyer56]

@thisismeandimhere football players get paid in dollars not pounds and they make so much because they are some of the most athletic people in the world and there is great entertainment value in the game they play

[Morne555]

@MrRyer56  soccer in the UK is called football

[domdom111111]

@thisismeandimhere Yeah I agree with you!

[Lisztman88]

@thisismeandimhere One word - Money

[shoreep]

@thisismeandimhere supply & demand

[oOoMastermind]

fuckin incredible, now other way to put it...

[exceluser249738]

love it! team steven



[ZZZcatsy]

Man this guy makes Google Earth look obsolete.

[JudyWonn]

not bein crazy,but imagen hm dying seeing "heaven" or the afterlife or something, the comig back to life and drawing it .

[sirreal2u1]

Shame the audio is so low.

[V1Ncento]

3:36 - 4:05 There is a resemblance, but waht the guy has drawn is not the same as the real thing. FAIL! :D

[Euroman002]

"Rome wasn't built in a day" but it can be drawed in few days... O_O

[m4carbine77vid]

he will be a future james bond in the cia.

[Madmonkeythegreat]

Imagine him as an architect in the movie inception :D

[georgeec3]

nigga part fail

[77PTR77]

Absolute genius I have seen him do this on live TV he is truly a genius.

[YoursTruelyMe2]

Oops, it looks like 28 people hit the thumbs down button by mistake. Silly them.

[swilly6391]

would hate to be the dude who would have to colour it in

[rypaz87]

@swilly6391 that would be the easiest part, actually :)

[blahblahdoll]

@swilly6391 LMAO that would suck huh XD

[pimpfluid69]

@swilly6391

color by the numbers = FUCK THAT

[TheRooster602]

@swilly6391 , they'd get a savant to do it. Problem solved.

[TheRooster602]

@swilly6391 , they'd get a savant to do it. Problem solved. His first words: "pencil and paper". Good thing they were paying attention and gave him what he asked for.

[ujana19]

holy toledo. he's quite amazing. :)

[2JAMMY]

We are too distracted by everything to be able to focus on anything - after years of doing this we lose even the idea that we could actually do something - brainwashed or what!

[L3Thousand]

I can't understand how some people can do THIS and other's can't sometimes not even remember what an other said 10 seconds ago...

[retrorockrandomers01]

Is that stephen wiltshire?

[filmz22]

what fck ?? oh my god, i can't even say anything, im stunned.

His memory is realy good

[iMoNsTruO]

@eliteace117, maybe they could fly him over the Torat Mountains then take him back to the C.i.A headquarters to draw a map with the cave showing exactly Bin Laden Location, put that location coordinates in a tomahawk Missile launching computer and blow him out.

[destroyHAARPnow]

Love this!

[mit3k1]

As a christian I watch this and think how can you justify the belief that we are more then just a blob of stuff that crawled out of the sea the human mind is so vast and we know so little about it clearly this (not normal ability) gives us a glimpse of something bigger then ourselves

[Azzabajam]

@mit3k1 it's becoming very apparent how little you know, a thinly veiled retards version of evolution, in order to justify your own already existing delusions. Where do people/you get off using autism as a means to undermine evolution and promote your own idiotic fabricated beliefs. Words are starting to fail me.

[mrgreen05]

@mit3k1 dont comment stupid things, if you think that its ok but dont say things like that cause its just comments looking for trouble, ( sorry for my bad english ) but im not christian and i dont believe in god and your way to justify your belief is idiot.

[emceay]

@mit3k1

...Yeah, but don't you see that you simply fill in your own blank with God?

Why knock what other people fill in the blank with? It's faith after all, it's not known for sure.

[SimulacronX]

Use a camera. 

[islew2007]

magnificant...

[JustChief]

ya know it would be awesome for someone to be a savant with all of their special abilities... numbers, art, language, music, dates, everything

[D202116]

DOUBLE-U T F

[Killlz4fun]

That dude is amazing!

[riskymissy]

waaaaw I envy him.....what agift...hope to be like him...great memory

[chutdigadut]

so unbelievably bad ass WTF

[Marycmps]

So amazing OoO

[DoItWithADance]

that ability would be awesome for studying to a test lol! :D

[linekill]

aww man!

I studied drawing for more than 10 years now and I'm no where near his level.

He has the gift.

[bassguitarwade]

Amazing, I wish I could do this.

[kevluv93]

The government should turn him into a super weapon.

[HaloedG]

For a REAL challenge, I'd say after he drew it, "Now color it in..."

[Jizzinthis]

@HaloedG that enough of a challenge...hes very impressive
