The Etch A Sketch is fine for drawing straight lines, but curves and circles (especially if you want them to be at all regular in shape) present more of a challenge. After only a couple of days’ practice, I have now mastered the art of manipulating the aluminum powders hidden within the device and have produced the holy grail of Etch A Sketch users: an ampersand. I shall leave it to you to fathom exactly how I accomplished this feat. It could’ve been sheer artistic skill; or fantastic hand-eye coordination.

Or maybe it was all down to great knob control!
