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.

This is pretty freakin' awesome, no lie!
Hopefully your teacher doesn't accidentally shake it!

lol I already got it back from him, so I am safe. I am glad I already got photos of them all. I think I am going to erase a few because I am low on blank etch a sketches.

Hehe that's good - it's a shame you have to erase them, but at least they're preserved in photo (otherwise you'd have 100's of etch-a-sketches o3o)

well, that is my eventual goal, draining them all so that I can keep them
I want my room to be filled with hundreds and hundreds of etch a sketches!

Paste them all on the walls 8D That'd be awesome!

I bet you'll pass that assignment with flying colors! ... and if you don't, your teacher obviously isn't able to appreciate amazing etcha-sketch artwork. This is simply wonderful

It was kind of funny that you mentioned that, because everyone got their grade on a sticky note, and I approached him because my assignment (I printed it out so that he didn't erase it, haha) didn't have a sticky note on it. He just looked at it and said "full credit"
Haha, thanks! There is a way to erase about half of it, but you just gotta get it right the first time; it's easiest that way.

thank you! I am glad to hear that I am not a let down
I have some other non-etch a sketch related things to upload, but I am taking my time so that I don't upload a million things at once, and so that I can have etch a sketch work interspersed more in my gallery.

that is just.. wow. how did you learn how to do that?

I taught myself when I was about 4 how to use an etch a sketch by playing with it a lot, and then I just kept practicing with it. Then I got serious about 4 years ago, in my sophomore year of high school.

oh thats cool. i just started getting serious about painting to tell you the truth. I had always hated painting, including that fact that I could never make details well. But after I had to do this art midterm a few weeks ago where I painted my dads old jean jacket, I started to like painting. Then I tried painting tiny pictures and I ended up being pretty good at it, so it kind of just came to me. ^^
