Description
This is a 5 part pocket etch a sketch compilation of the famous sculpture known as the laocoon.It was an assignment for my Art History 2 class to make your own artistic interpretation of this sculpture, and our teacher didn't want us to just redraw it, so I decided that I was going to do it in 5 portions, each with a different style of shading and rendering. My personal favorite is the 8bit version, which I plan on using in future work.
The piece took roughly 5 hours, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. This is the first assignment I have been able to do in etch a sketch at my art college, so I was totally on board with it
The picture of the laocoon (which I used for reference) is on the upper right, so that you can get a better idea of what I was going for.

I have been using an etch a sketch as an artistic median for a loooooong time now, so this is definitely the product of a LOT of practice

I like the bottom left portion... what did your teacher think of the medium?

When I told my teacher this is what I wanted to do, he was dubious but said "okay". When I brought in the final product he was shocked!

I can understand the dubiousness, though I have never played with an etch a sketch it would be hard to believe you could do this with one.
