Etch A Sketch

Recommended Posts

I don't remember if I had one of these as a child. Like all children, I probably didn't draw anything particularly interesting and worthwhile for lack of artistic training or talent.

 

But, now that I am older and have become a 15-year old gamer Just%20Kidding.gif , I can at last use the Etch A Sketch to advantage. Here is the ... Stearman!

 

 

 

 

 

Well, I still don't have any artistic talent, so it isn't much. :LMAO: And you don't have to come into this thread to tell me that and spoil my fun, thank you. :Loser:

 

The Stearman was not my favorite airplane at first, but I have learned to like it a lot. But, then, I like all the airplanes in Flight. Even, and particularly, Kevin's Icon, so pretty. Big%20Grin.gif

 

Next on my list of masterpieces to draw is the RV, love it, flies great, looks great. It's just that I don't want to shake the Etch A Sketch and lose what I already made. :LMAO:

 

By the way, thanks to Ramón for reminding me of this great toy, the Etch A Sketch!

 

Best regards.

Luis

Great work! I didn't know people could do stuff like that with an Etch-A-Sketch.

Luis ! I got the full colour model on ebay.

I just threw this sketch together while I was having a cup of tea. (getting those mouse crosshairs was very tricky.)

 

:LMAO: :LMAO: :Just Kidding:

Luis; that is some serious drawing, no wonder among other things you are also a scenery expert. :hi:

(If I ever tried to do that I would probably lose half my fingers)

 

 

Fred, that is hilarious, you even had time to draw the mouse ccrosshairs :LMAO:

I think Leonardo felt the same way. :LMAO:

I did have an Etch A Sketch when I was a child. The hardest part of drawing anything for me was figuring out how to draw what I wanted without ruining what I'd already drawn, since there's no way to move the "drawing pen" without leaving a track...

 

...it's like tracing out a giant maze!

You guys are great! Except for one member of my Ignore list - never see what he writes.

 

Those who have been here for a while and know me understand that I am only in it for the fun and laughs! Big%20Grin.gif And mostly the laughs. So sometimes I pull your leg and hope you smile. Big%20Grin.gif

 

I did like Fred, except not so brazenly, and took a screenshot of the Stearman, reduced it to a few lines in The GIMP, and then pasted it in a picture of an Etch A Sketch. :LMAO: Looks almost real, something like flight games. :LMAO:

 

I hope you enjoyed the laugh, but there is a yearning in me somewhere deep down inside for a real... no, not a Stearman, but an Etch A Sketch.Big%20Grin.gif

 

Best regards.

I looked closely at the pic and thought it resembled some line drawings I'd made in Photoshop, converted from photographs. Wish I could remember the filters I used at the time, as it wasn't any standard technique. Looks pretty cool anyway. :)

Luis,

 

Avsim should make you "moderator" of levity and mirth. All those in favor raise your hand. :Loser: :Hug: :Peace:

Thanks, Mike. I wish there was more laughter and enjoyment here - I think that a lot of people are having fun with Flight.

 

Usually, when I am up to my practical jokes, the images are more obviously fake. And I was sure that one of you would say, "now, wait a minute, hold on."

 

So, it seems that this looked too real and the joke was a flop. Or maybe you guys are just too nice. Big%20Grin.gif

 

Best regards.

Luis

The unconnected dots in the middle made it obvious, but I figured I'd let you have your fun. :P
