Look Mr. Bubbles, We’ve Been Etch-a-Sketched
September 18th, 2007
Given the fact that for my entire life, I’ve been completely incapable of drawing anything but some straight lines and the occasional stair step on an Etch-A-Sketch, this image simply blew my head off.
I was already duly impressed with the detail that artist the Etch-A-Sketchist has been able to squeak out of the little red and white drawing toy. But with his decision to (momentarily) immortalize Big Daddy and Little Sister in metallic powdery form, he’s become a real superstar in my book.
And just like the city of Rapture before it, this once beautiful work of art will eventually be lost.

that is unreal! i never had the cheat sheet for etch a sketch and always stunk at it.
Thanks for the kind words. Try picking it up again and see if you’re better than you remember. A little practice goes a long way.
Any tips you care to share?
how can you believe this is real? :s you can only draw straight lines on an etch-a-sketch and you they are all connected, i.e. every line on here wud have to have been connected together. what bollocks. it’s called photoshop
Nope, it’s real. I can’t believe it either, but there are master Etch-a-Sketch artists out there who can do this stuff. Here are some others…

Here’s some video evidence of what’s possible…

Amazing, I know.
Clearly you don’t have a brain. You can draw lines at any angle you want by using both knobs at the same time. If you inspect the pictures a little more closely, you can see that all the lines are, in fact, connected. Idiot.
omfg that is good. How long did it take you to sketch that? I don’t care what that “wut” guy said-He’s the one who doesn’t have a brain. But seriously, how
——————————–
did you create that entire picture?
I still can’t believe that you created this entire picture! I don’t get why these jerks are making fun of you and saying that the picture isn’t real? Oh, and here’s a note to the jerks:
You CAN draw round lines.
“Someone with a brain” DOESN’T know what he’s talking about.
Him and “wut” are haters of everything that they see, especially their family.
LMAO.
“Wut” and “Someone with a brain” hate what someone does. I bet that when “Wut” was 5 years-old, his dad built him a tree house, but then “Wut” burned it down. LOL.
Maybe when “Someone with a brain” was in the third grade, he was doing 10+80 and put “16″.
Look- the main point is that the guy who used the sketch thing wasn’t cheating or anything. It probably just took him a long time to make. That’s why it’s so detailed.
Technabob, keep up the good work!
