Description
I was given permission by to etch their wonderful photograph:This piece was well over a year in the making and I am thrilled with how it turned out! Countless hours were poured into this. The hardest part was those swirly spires!
Like many other Americans, I was introduced to this architectural masterpiece by playing Tetris.
EDIT (07-27-19): Updated the main file for better quality!

Wow, it must have been incredibly frustrating to make. I can't even draw a stickman on those.
Wonderful work, so many details... I can't believe it!

how do you not accidentally shake it and erase it all!Β That what was difficult for me with echasketchs because you'd make a pic you'd like and one little bump and it could disappear!!!Β Cudos for mastering such an awesome art syle!!!

Thank you! I have been very careful with this piece, only working on it while it was sitting on a desk. I drained it of its powder afterwards. Now I usually drain my etch a sketches before I start a piece so I won't have to worry about it erasing before I finish it

Oh man...I cannot even count the hours I've poured into etch a sketching. I've been laying with one for 18 years. So I'd say well over a thousand hours--perhaps even thousands!

My all time best etch was a face... and that's just because I got pissed and started randomly moving it and it came out looking like a really messed up face.

God damn. Can't imagine how long that would've taken--with a single mistake, you might have to erase the whole thing. But seeing as you've done many of these, I can't say you'd make such a mistake.

Yeah, I am pretty used to etch a sketching now thankfully so now mistakes are less frequent. They most commonly occur early on though thankfully
