Description
It's me!I have black hair now.
Isn't this etch a sketch a beauty? Sparkly blue is my favorite color.
I've been meaning to update my deviant ID for quite some time now. Something with my black hair. I've got braces right now too. And this is my second time having them! Lame!
Anyways, took about an hour to make. Everything worked out great! It was based off of a wonderful photo my friend took of me.

BRACESSSSS. I love it. I'm heading over to the States in October, I want to get one of those special coloured Etch A Sketches! Australia absolutely sucks for variety in Etchies, in fact, they are quite rare here

They're rather common here, but certain colors are out for only limited periods of time. Where are you going in the States?

I am headed to 23 states I think, just the southern ones though. Are you anywhere down there?! I'll bring you Australian lollies if you are (not that they will do well with your braces, but you know!!!)!!!

If you mess up do you have to start all over again?

How do you even DO detailed art like this? It must be... different. I bet it took alot of practice. How did you start out? O.o I am amazed!

I have a lot of years of practice
I have to agree with you there--making art on an etch a sketch is an entirely different experience from making art using other media.
I started out when I was a kid, and messed around with the toy A LOT. Now I am an adult and I never stopped playing with it.
If you're asking about this piece in particular, I started out by planning where I wanted the dial to be in the beginning, and used a scale-size reference image to help keep the proportions correct.
Thank you very much!

Thanks!
I'm getting used to the braces. Sometimes it kinda sucks having them but they'll be worth it in a few months

I always wanted braces because they make your smile look cute, but I have straight teeth so no braces for me.
When I waas little, I thought they were a fashion accessory.

haha this is my second time having them
I don't like them because they make eating really difficult and they hurt a lot of the time. I miss being able to bite into an apple and eat popcorn without spending ten minutes in the bathroom trying to dislodge a kernel between two brackets.
The only reason I'm going for braces a second time around is so that I can have straight teeth like you

You're welcome! I've been on your watch list for a long time, and I follow you on Tumblr too. It kind of sucks that people get more notes posting YOUR stuff than you seem to though!

Thanks for being such a great supporter of my work!
Yeah, I wish there were an easy remedy for that...hopefully people pay attention to watermarks -shrug-

I really don't know. I remember before you had Tumblr, I put your Pikachu up (gave you cred of course) and it got a LOT of notes. My tumblr isn't even popular! So I get really annoyed that you don't get the same attention. It doesn't make any sense at all.

LOL well just know I've also tried to promote your Tumblr too. I don't know how successful it was, but I tried! D:

I am most definitely appreciative of your support!
Who knows, maybe my stuff will tumblr explode someday

and I didn't mean to press enter there haha
I wish I knew how to crack tumblr so I could get all those reblogs but it consistently occurs where my work gets better reception through the reblogging of others. I don't really know how to establish a fanbase on that site. I've tried promoting it, but I only have about 100 followers (which is good, but nothing compared to my dA)
