I found this guy named Kyle Fleming on Instagram who has been a professional Etch-A-Sketch artist for over 10 years. If he didn't post the time-lapse videos of him creating it, I would think it was fake. Instead of using straight lines to do the shading, he often creates a grey scale by etching impossibly small, intricate squiggles. Zoom in on some of these pictures to fully appreciate them.

Load More Replies...Not sure if amazing Etch-A-Sketch ...or best Etch-A-Sketch ever?
Load More Replies...Amazing! I can't do a straight line and just look at this. Wonderful.
It takes a fine eye and high IQ to be able to see and calculate this and execute it on an Etch A Sketch. Holy §#it!
Sorry Victor this piece has been sold. I would be happy to sell you a signed print, or take on a commission for another Spock image. You can message me through my website or Instagram account. Both are linked at the top of the page. Thanks!
Load More Replies...Hi Analyn. Let's just say I have a knack for it. All knacks aside, at the end of the day, it really comes down to practice, practice, practice.
Load More Replies...lol. Thanks Tamara, and may the force be with you as well.
Load More Replies...I have a really good idea marcus! Tearn your art into coloring sheets but make sure to make originals. Please upvote guys so this can be seen by Marcus thanks!
While I've grown to share your views on the subject matter; I still like to showcase this image as a starting point for conversations on communism. I don't see it as a waste of time, because there is a lot of talking that revolves around this one, like your comment for instance.
Load More Replies...I wasn't trying to glorify socialism with this image, I just wanted to find a super iconic portrait that would work with the style of shading I had in mind. I understand that a lot of people will identify Che with Communism, and rightly so; but if you have a huge problem with Communism, you should start by checking the "made in" tag on your computer, smart-phone, clothes, shoes, appliances, etc... and ask yourself why you're supporting it through personal funding.
Load More Replies...I might be able to arrange that. If you're serious, message me on instagram, and we'll sort something out.
Load More Replies...Amazing all of them. Wow and I thought I was good. Love the way he manages to maze all so that there aren't any stray lines.
Thanks Susan. I've always enjoyed mazes, and straight lines get boring.
Load More Replies...So much I even bore myself. I've estimated that there is as much as a quarter mile of line in a piece this size.
Load More Replies...I'm no My Little Pony fan, but technically, as far as detail and precision are concerned I've always thought this was one of the best Etches I've ever made.
And I see the artist speaks! You are amazing at what you do, and you put in so much detail and precision! I aspire to put in as much effort as you, that is if it takes you much effort at all!!
Load More Replies...Then it is just that! Your an amazing etcher- a- skether. My personal hope is you'll add a Simon with young Marceline & Hambo. Thank you for all your wonder works!
Thanks layne. I like your idea, I might etch it someday.
Load More Replies...I used to listen to his stand-up on my mother's record player. I heard it so much, I had it memorized and told dirty jokes at show and tell in kindergarten. ...I got kicked out of class! LOL!
Load More Replies...Professional Etch a Sketch... That's some next level s**t. Most of us can't manage a single solid line and this guy has gone pro in a medium DESIGNED to be temporary. Art God Status: Unlocked
Just did a vanity search and found this post. Thanks for sharing my work Marcus! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram.
This man is a genius! I have never been able to make a circle. I am very envious. Amazing work!
WOW, just wow. I can't imagine the patience that takes, so Huge props for your amazing skills! If there were like Etch A Sketch competitions, you'd knock it out :)
Great! I can't even write my name without the urge to throw that thing out of the window! Would be awesome to see a video of you, performing your art. Like a making of video!
Ive always been impressed by these artists! I was pretty good myself as a teen, but...it became time to put away childish things. LOL
I ke Etch-a-Sketch art! It seems that Etch-a-Sketch had a revival a few years ago, then slipped away again. Nice work.
I'm still working on making a simple circle. You've got some mad rad skills Kyle!
