Jul 30 2007LeBron James Etch A Sketch portrait
This is a sped up video of artist George Vlosich creating an Etch A Sketch portrait of LeBron James. The original took five hours but this video compresses the whole thing down to three minutes. The likeness isn't so great, but it's an Etch A Sketch so who cares. If I tried doing this I'd end up with a broken Etch A Sketch with "Srew this!" written on the screen in marker.

i think it looks kind of crummy. i mean, its on the etch a sketch but that doesnt mean he has to f*** up the proportions...

Thats pretty good but it's not as good as my "box attached another box" drawing.
Mine's better, way better.

i pretty much love how people who couldn't draw anything more than stairs or straight lines can pretty much say that this wasn't amazing...
i for one...who can't use a freaking etch a sketch if his life depended on it, think this is pretty much goddamn amazing.
*props to the artist*

#7: I agree, I gave up the etch-a-sketch thing after a few tries. This dude's amazing, I like how he even got shadows. Not just any shadows, they're different depending on depth, some light, some dark, and who cares if it's disproportionate...people make bobble-head dolls and no one complains. (for those of you who do complain, shut up....forever.)
Great work.

That's f***ing sweet! The close up of him put on his signature was awesome!

I think that's pretty f***ing amazing. I, for one, could never do that.
The only thing is that he has to be careful and not shake it...
