We thought we had seen a lot of unbelievable things until we saw this. Art is pretty much everywhere. If you think about it, even video games are a type of art. However, what happens when you mix a video game with an incredible mechanical drawing toy? Someone depicted a DOOM image on an Etch A Sketch, and it is fantastic.
Etch A Sketch is a mechanical drawing toy invented by André Cassagnes. Most of you probably have already seen at least one work on an Etch A Sketch toy. However, it is very challenging to draw anything with it, especially if you are not a master. It has some very complex mechanics.
The way it works seems natural, but if you do not have the right skills, you will fail blatantly. It has a thick, flat gray screen with a red plastic frame. In the lower corners of the frame, there are two white knobs.
You have to twist these knobs so that a stylus that displaces aluminum powder on the back of the screen moves. The knobs are creating lineographic images. Is this enough evidence for you to understand the difficulty to which I am referring?
A pro on Etch A Sketch can probably do whatever he wants with this toy. When we saw the way this artist is using it, manipulating the white knobs and successfully depicting a DOOM image on it, we were breath-taken. Fortunately, it is on YouTube, and we can share this awesomeness with you.
His name is Simon. On YouTube, he is known as lily-liver. His detailed work is awe-inspiring and fascinating. If there were any possible way this picture could move after it is done, we would be able to play DOOM quite comfortably. I do not think that there are any words to describe his talent, skills, mechanics, and ability to draw. You can take a look at his DOOM drawing below:
