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!

This is exactly like something my late Uncle Bill would have done. He worked with computer games, and his art was very similar to this. He passed away early this year, but thank you for reminding me of him. Here's something he painted: [link]

Wow, that's beautiful! I love his style. I can see how this etch a sketch piece has a similar look to it.
Your uncle was a very gifted artist

Also, it's brilliant that you take photos of all your masterpieces...imagine if some horrible person came along and shook it clear again before you were able to preserve it forever...*shudder* LOL! xD;

This is so incredibly amazing -- not only in your artwork, but in the fact that it wasn't planned out beforehand. You have skill and talent.

thank you very much. I love planning out intricate designs, but sometimes I think it's just good to put pen to paper (or for an etch a sketch, dial to screen) and just have a blind go at it, and see where the line takes you.

In terms of writing, that's what I sometimes try to do!

This is totally amazing. It must take a lot of patience and practice to be able to draw like this on and etch a sketch. Congratulations!

I couldn't even draw lines, straight or wavy on these things how on Earth did you do this in only 3 hours?

I'm a pretty fast etch a sketcher, so usually it takes a lot for me to put 3 hours into a piece.
