Description
The city of Philadelphia. I took extra care when etching City Hall, as it's my favorite landmark of the city. I documented and posted the progress of this piece on my blog (bryanetch.blogspot.com ), which can be found in the archives (2010).Thanks so much for all the kind words and to those who helped make this my first Daily Deviation!

I'm a New Yorker, so I etched out the east coast cities first, I suppose. I find myself in Philly from time to time, so I do appreciate the city.

Patience is the hardest part, sometimes I don't have the patience to test my patience on them so I just don't etch a sketch anything. It's a nerve-wracking medium at times. Thanks.

Thanks, appreciate it. Etch-a-Sketch is more appealing to me than standard mediums because nobody expects it, people get surprised. I like that about it.

It took me a couple weeks, knocked it out an hour a night, sometimes more I'm sure. Around the end I was worried about making a mistake, but luckily it never happened, which I can't always say. Thanks so much, appreciate the compliment.

The Etch-a-Sketch is a medium that fights you back. Until you can beat it, it will always be rough on you. Thank you.

Patience is one of the most difficult aspects of doing Etch-a-Sketch art. It's easy to want to go fast and get through parts, but it almost never works. Thanks!

I made a wish at exactly 11:11pm one night and the next morning I had the etch-a-sketch I wished I could create but hadn't the skill. I did that for a few in my gallery. Thanks!

Etch-a-sketches respond much better to love than hate. When they are repremanded and shaken, all of their pictures go away - so you must be nice to them. Thank you!
