First ATCs
I made my first two ATCs tonight for the “Newbies to ACT swap. I used pastel chalks as the medium and drew a colorful clown topped circus tent on one and a black, white, and pale orange/yellow sumi koi on the other. These didn’t come out anywhere near Picasso’s level, but I think they are decent for a first try. I don’t think I will be using pastel chalk for ATCs again, though. They are too small and the chalks too subtle to convey any sense of detail.
