Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Stroll down memory lane is painful!
Geez,
How many of us folks remember the Etch A Sketch? I remember spending hours trying to make a circle or anything decent on it. I never could master a curve. I was just happy being able to come fairly close to rounding off the edges of some pictures.
Then a friend has to send me this link to let me know how incompetent I really was.....

Now that I have been reminded about painful childhood memories, I shall slink off and find myself a drink and maybe my blankie!

Etch a sketchy
Candy,
Wow. Is that for real? As someone who spent countless hours of my youth etch a sketching away that is just unbelievable. All this time I thought my square trucks with the square tires were pretty dang good.
Take care & God bless,

I don't recall the etch-a-sketch being capable of depth in shading. I don't think those were done on an etch-a-sketch. If you look closely, almost all of them incorporate depth in the shading, darker and lighter shades. The etch-a-scetch didn;t do that....did it? It's been a long time, but i don't think so.
I think someone is just using the etch-a-sketch image as a frame for pencil sketches.

Nope. Those are indeed real, and I've seen a couple in person. Sketches like the ones featured take 40-50 hours of work.

Truly amazing
If those pics are for real (and I have no reason to believe they are not) it is incredible to me that they were done on an Etch A Sketch. That makes me want to go out and buy one . . . . . for my kids of course.
Take care & God bless,
Phil

Okay, I will be the first to confess. I went out and bought an etch a sketch. I can see how to do the shading....
BUT, age hasn't improved my skills any! I still can't even make a circle! Maybe I should set this as one of my big goals in life?
Got to have something to look forward to!!!
Excuse me? NOOOO!!! Don't shake that etch a sketch!!!!!!!
ARGHHHH!!!!!!
