Description
I started etch a sketching a few days ago and this is what happened. I've always been interested in fantasy-oriented environments, and decided to invent a quasi-aquatic prehistoric kind of scenery. I estimate this took about 3 hours.No references were used, and no sketching or conceptualizing was done beforehand. I started with one thing and kept building upon it until I felt it was complete.
EDIT (7-28-12): I'm so thankful for being awarded a daily deviation for this piece. It was a labor of love, and my favorite thing I've done all summer.
EDIT 2 (4-14-20): I updated the main file with a better quality photo!

you started.......a few days ago?
no way. this takes years of practice to accomplish.
but, nice job anyway.
This looks like it took about a month's worth of time to create.

I've been etch a sketching for about 16 years, now.
In 16 years, you learn to get a little quicker at etching.
I assure you that this only took a few days, in small sittings.

haha I always run into people who don't think my work is real, but regretfully I'm not there to show them the physical etch a sketch. If she's interested, there are a few WIP pieces in my gallery, as well as an image showing my work from a different angle, showing my work is real.
I'll be putting up videos of my work soon as well, so that might also help~

Awesome! That'll show her!

Oh my gosh!! This is just increadable! I didn't know something like this was possible on an etch-a-sketch and on such small scale too, (all I could ever do were endless stairs. XD)...what talent.

You definitely deserve a DD, but I'm a little suspicious as to whether you actually drew this without a preconceived sketch. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but you have to see my point of view too.

I understand. I wish I had a means of which to prove it. But alas, since there are no sketches, there is nothing I could show.
Most of my work starts at sketches. This one was fun because I just took a stab at it. I started in the lower left, and kept building layers of vegetation, always trying to keep things fresh and different.

I drill a hole in the back and I drain out the powder. It sounds simple when I put it that way but you have to be really careful and it takes a long time to get all that powder out~

Cool, sounds interesting... SO the powder is what wipes the screen clean when you shake it?
