Etch-A-Sketch

I always think it good to try new mediums in art so you can see what you really like and what you're good at. Well, for Christmas, I got a new medium. I got an Etch-A-sketch! I wasn't too excited when I saw that I got it because as a child, I failed at it. We've all tried to use one of these, right? If you haven't, you better find one!

Etch-A-Sketch's are really fun, but hard to use! You have to use the little knobs to make your lines and if you turn the right knob, the line will go up or down. If you turn the left knob, the line with go side to side. If you want to get tricky, you could use both of the knobs at the same time and make a curve!

When I was little I had an Etch-A-Sketch and I would use it but, mostly I'd just scribble around. My drawings never turned out well, but then again no one else did that well ether. The drawings were awful, and so Etch-a-Sketch was just a fun thing to find and use for a while. But then I'd forget about it.

Okay back to last Christmas. I wasn't to excited but I played around with it just to use it. I enjoyed it and used it again the next day. Towards the end of the day it started to get easier. My drawings looked better! You could actually tell what I was trying to draw! My drawings kept getting better, and better and it was so cool! I'd always tried to create something visually interesting with an Etch-A-Sketch and I finally did! Here's a picture of a few of my drawings:

This was just a super quick sketch of Jack Frost from the Movie,
Rise of the Guardians. (Sorry that the picture isn't very good and the reflection is in the way.

Here's a drawing of a girl that I drew
a little while ago.

If you don't get it right the first time keep trying!

See ya!
