The prize is etched in the details for student Jacob Lanyon.
The South Lyon East High School incoming senior recently won the Grand Award for the best drawing of all entries in the Mechanical Drawing category — hand-drawn or CAD — from the Michigan Industrial & Technology Education Society for his sketched Chevrolet SSR Cutaway.
“I thought it was amazing,” Lanyon said. “This is the award of all awards really for mechanical drawing.”
MITES is a non-profit organization believing in the power of hands-on, relevant, and real-world learning, issuing the Grand Award as its highest honor given as part of the Society's student competition.
Lanyon also received first-place honors for his single-object, engine block drawing.
The drawings were entered into the contest by teacher William Ashcraft. Lanyon was a student in Ashcraft's Advanced Technical Drawing/CAD program at East.
South Lyon East High School Principal Larry Jackson said the Grand Award is a high honor in student achievement.
“It was an incredible drawing that he did,” Jackson said.
Lanyon received his accolades during a Lake Superior State University ceremony in Sault Ste. Marie.
“That was cool,” he said. “We got to see all of the divisions and all of the awards that they got.”
Lanyon said his love for drawing has been life-long, sketching for as long as he can remember.
“I always have that itch or whenever I want to communicate something the first thing that I think of is to draw it,” he said.
Lanyon said he would like to pursue a career in transportation design after graduating from the Center for Creative Studies.
“And that can put you in a lot of place,” he said. “Like the real world in designing transportation or even digital design movies, video games or even toys.”

I can't believe he got this past his Mechanical Drawing Teacher. The Teacher must have been asleep.
Man I could never, have pulled this off, I would have been caught.
For all you unbelievers, these drawings were hand drawn using the originals from Kimball and the website for the engine block. If you knew anything about the competition, you can use any drawing you wish as long as you do the work to recreate it. The artist drew a grid 2 1/2 times the size of the originals, and hand drew and colored in Prismacolor pencils every single detail using the originals' drawings as guidelines onto his grid of 2 1/2 times larger. Hours and hours went into his awesome work, and that is why he won all his awards and was featured in his local paper. You should also see what he can draw and not be looking at anything. He is well known in our community for his artistic talent. By the way, his teacher helped him choose what he was going to draw. The student did all the work on his own and took pictures during the progress for proof of the unbelievers, because he knows people cannot believe that he has this talent. If you further don't believe, progression pictures can be happily sent to your e-mail address to prove these are NOT ENLARGED COPIES!
By the way, it's a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 engine block.
So shame on all of you and apologize to the artist! He deserves it!
The category that the drawing was entered in is the Mechanical Drawing - Cutaway category. You HAVE TO DRAW your entry from an original. I bet you, MORON, that you have no idea how to draw the cutaway from an SSR by standing next to it as is. Why don't you get the facts about the competition before you blast him anymore. This kid has talent in drawing and that's what the competition is all about. I hope he never sees these comments from all you morons, because he is very proud of his drawings and the competition is about DRAWING!!
Why can't you admit he's very talented instead!! Bet you can't draw like this!!
My SSR: 04 UV, BOD 2-18-04, SN 5550, lots of polished billet, Superchips, K&N - Previous 03 and 05 owner

Hey Awesome,
I can see where you are upset at some of the comments here but please don't fall into doing the same bashing, it just makes for poor communication.
I too thought that it was strange to see this contest drawing and dug into it a little more to learn about it. Both the school and contest sponsors provided me with a wealth of information about Jacob and the contest and I totally agree that Jacob has some fantastic talents. If there was more information about the contest rules and process posted here maybe there wouldn't have been so many questions about the end result. Sadly, the internet sometimes makes it hard to properly translate information even though it seems so simple.
If you know, or are, Jacob, please know that there are many out there that enjoy and appreciate his work. No doubt he will go far if he continues to work in this area. Thanks for stopping by and providing more information on the contest.

I agree, Jacob is very talented and has a bright future!
Don't be discouraged by a few negatives. Keep on track and your talent will take you far.

Another very talented individual is Chip Foose. I saw him talking to a boy in a wheel chair, then bending down in front of him with his sketch pad. He drew a beautiful street rod upside down, from his perspective, but right side up to the boy!! I'm very envious of people like Chip or Jacob - quite a gift!

Calm down, the original article say the category was, "Mechanical Drawing category — hand-drawn or CAD ". It doesn't say it was hand drawn, and we had no way of knowing that until you told us. The original article doesn't say they were allowed/required to copy an original, either. All the members here are very familiar with those originals, and some assumed he'd plagiarize them. That's a fair conclusion since the article didn't tell us otherwise. Hey, give the kid my congratulations, that's an impressive job he's done.

Has any artist ever drawn an original, except Picasso and his ilk drawing unidentifiable crap? Draw a tree? Copy. Seascape? Copy. Statue of Liberty? Copy.

Actually ...Yes... There are alot of "original artists", not just Picasso. By it's shear definition, "original art" is just that..."original" as seen thru the eyes of the artist. NO ARTIST sees the same things exactlly the same. I think what the difference is here is the medium chosen and some of the techniques used to produce the "original art". When I was in HS and college we were chastised (and usually would fail the project) if we "copied" (meaning to duplicate exactly) something and for not doing "original art". Case in point: As a junior in college, we had an assignment to "create and animal never seen before". My solution was a composition drawing of 5 different owls to create one owl never seen before. Talons/legs, beak/eyes, ear tufts, head/body shape and feather design were all from different birds, making my "owl" a never seen before animal... it still looked like an owl but it was the creation of what was in my mind of what I thought the perfect owl would/should look like. When completed and turned in, I was challenged as to whether or not it was a copy of a real owl ... That was until I showed him all of the sketches I had made at the SF Zoo (22 of them) and identified which part of the "original art" came from which sketch... which proved to him it was "original" . Case closed!
I think the young man did exceptionally well. He is learning how to apply his new found knowledge and talent to a project. We all pull from the "file cabinet" in our brain and he is in the process of filling his. Give him time and we will all probably be surprised in the future where he might show up with his talent... H**l, look at me!

Name calling is a poor way to communicate.
No question the kid can draw very well. If it's within the rules to copy someone else's work, all is good. Did the rules require that the creator of the original be contacted for permission, as is required when a musician wants to use someone else's work? If not, all is good again.
Kimble is the real artist in this deal. He has the ability to merge multiple drawings and renderings into one see-through final product.
David Kimble has done a lot of cutaways. I'm happy the artist picked the SSR to copy.

You've got me there, only mother nature, and you, can make a new kind of owl.
Agreed, the student does what the teacher assigns. This kid probably chose the most difficult mechanical illustration he could have, to replicate. Then did it by hand, instead of a CAD program which would have been a thousand times easier.
Most major art museums have to limit the number of students wanting to copy the famous paintings, because so many want to it would jam the galleries. It's the best way to learn how it was done. I can make 3-plan and perspective mechanical drawings, but envy the people like you, that can create a picture that looks like it should be framed, instead of hung with a refrigerator magnet like mine.
Oh, and I feel sorry for awesome. It's frustrating to go through the sign up procedure so you can post, while you're mad enough to chew nails and spit tacks.

When you're not pi$$ed about some of us's infatuation with FPRs, you're actually pretty funny.

Thanks for the compliments but my thoughts weren't directed specifically at you. It was just the concept of "original art". We all have our areas of expertise and I just happened to focus on the more artistic side of things and go figure... I ended up being a builder for 35 yrs. It is nice to know that people still do hand drawn 3 pt perspectives. I loved my drafting and still do board work so as to not loose my touch. CAD? What is that? In the 60's it was a big car with fins.. right? Oh.. I forgot... I'm older now
But I digress... This isn't about me and I agree it is to bad that Awesome is so mad/angry... that doesn't lend itself to having people understand the real point he is trying to make... kind of like shooting yourself in the foot while attempting to do something positive (plan gone awry).
The young man obviously has talent and who knows... maybe in 30 yrs he will still have the passion and maybe, just maybe... he might be designing our next dream cars...
My vote... leave him alone and let him grow... let him fill his filing cabinet
