It is always amazing seeing people sit there with an Etch A Sketch and “draw” out realistic images such as the one to the right of Michael Jordan. It takes out a lot of skill, coordination, and most of all creativity. Just checkout this gallery of a few things that have been drawn on the Etch A Sketch to see what I’m talking about. There are even tips on how to become a professional!
We’re moving away from the pen/paper and Etch A Sketch age to one that is more technologically inclined. So now it is time to watch people make unbelievably realistic images on the computer. We’ve all seen what they can do in the movies with the tools that are available but what if all you had to use was Microsoft Paint? What can you do with a piece of software that just lets you draw lines and fill in colors? By the time you finish watching the following video, I think you’ll be wondering what you can’t do with Microsoft Paint. If you want to spoil the fun and don’t want to see the creation process, just click here to view a screenshot of the final image…but after seeing that you’re gonna want to know how that thing was made in Paint. I’m guessing that a Tablet PC of some sort was used and that this wasn’t the primary work of a mouse and keyboard…still amazing though.

That is certainly impressive. Obviously done with the use of an art pad, but damned nice all the same.
I’d like to get a chance to use one of those art pads with the pad being a screen, they look damned impressive, as well as very expensive.
wow
I wish I had even the tiniest bit of artistic skill. That’s just amazing.
I saw the episode of “Ripleys Believe it or Not” that featured the young man that made the Etch A Sketch and the pictures were simply amazing.I’m an artist myself but I think I’ll stick to the basics.
I’ve watched quite a few of those episodes, but must have missed that one. Some people definitely have unique talents!
