Description
is currently doing its holiday poke-swap, and I was excited that I finally signed up in time to do it!I had the honor of making a piece for .
Though he listed a few pokemon, I hope he does not mind that I only etched one! There had to be a Christmas/winter theme to it, and I guess I took the cheap way out by choosing Articuno from his list of favorites.
After experimenting with a few poses, I ended up locking into this one because it is a good display of his wing span. It was inspired by a reference image I found of a bird online. The background mountains was also loosely based off an internet reference. The ice beam/aurora beam was based off how I imagine it might look. I am glad I made it on an angle because I feel as though it was more interesting that way.
This is one of my favorites of all the pokemon I've ever etched. I am really happy with how this turned out! I hope you agree as well!~ It took about an hour and a half to make.

I've never seen anybody use an Etch a Sketch to do a real work of art! This is truly amazing. This isn't the best Articuno I've seen, but, you've done a really cool thing. I'd love to see so much more! I can not use an Etch a Sketch to do anything like this. I say this is great job and I hope that some day you will be able to sell an Etch a Sketch with one of your works of art on it. You are freaking amazing, keep striving to make your etches better and better.
PS: I love the mountains!

This is really good! I never thought such amazing images could be done on an etch-a-sketch. I only ever manage squares upon squares on the etch-a-sketch.

Woah! This is awesome! The best I can do on an Etch-a-Sketch is draw an awkward hill with a stick figure on it. Also I love Pokemon, so props for that too.

Holy crap! I wonder, were there any points where you'd gotten really far, only to make a mistake and had to start all over? O.o

Yes! It's pretty rare, but it has happened. Thankfully I can usually cover up smaller mistakes, and erase parts of an etch a sketch image by tilting it sideways. But every now and then, even though I am really far into a piece, things just don't work out and I have to start over.
There have been a couple times where I have accidentally dropped the etch a sketch when I was almost finished with the drawing. I feel like it would be the equivalent of watching your drawing spontaneously combust.

It always astounds me when people make such clean, precise curves and diagonals with an Etch-a-Sketch. I have to commend your skill.

Wow, this is incredible! I can hardly make a straight line on an etch-a-sketch, much less a work of art! Any tips on how I can improve? Great work.

going back and looking at some of your really old etch-a-sketches and comparing it to the more recent ones (this in particular though) i can definitely see a difference in your methods of shading. it's been interesting to see how you've developed different techniques for different lighting or placements of objects. fantastic as always(:
