Description This is a 5 part pocket etch a sketch compilation of the famous sculpture known as the laocoon.
It was an assignment for my Art History 2 class to make your own artistic interpretation of this sculpture, and our teacher didn't want us to just redraw it, so I decided that I was going to do it in 5 portions, each with a different style of shading and rendering. My personal favorite is the 8bit version, which I plan on using in future work.
The piece took roughly 5 hours, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. This is the first assignment I have been able to do in etch a sketch at my art college, so I was totally on board with it

The picture of the laocoon (which I used for reference) is on the upper right, so that you can get a better idea of what I was going for.

EDIT: 2-19-11 Thank you so kindly for the Daily Deviation! I am truly honored!

Oh! Thats what you meant by 8bit! (I didn't know what it means)
Way back in middle school my art teacher let me turn in some of my etch-a-sketches instead of a sketchbook assignment. I haven't been able to since then though

haha awesome, I got away with that earlier last semester, which is where my 10 hands etch a sketch piece came from.

pikajane In reply to bryanetch [2011-02-01 18:59:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It's awesome getting feedback from other etch a sketch artists, since we understand the median in a different light. I am definitely looking forward to employing the 8bit technique in future works.
