S: Pen and Ink ATC for Beginners (Edited)

• Make one ATC for one partner using only pen and ink. Here is one video tutorial demonstrating basic pen and ink shading techniques.

• Your piece must be made with black ink on a white background. No other colors should be incorporated.

• Use illustration or technical drawing pens (such as Prismacolor Illustration Markers, Sakura Pigma Micron Pens, or Staedtler Pigment Liner Sketch Pens) that are:

archival

fade-resistant / lightfast

smudge-proof

water-proof

bleed-proof

• Use a quality, smooth paper like Bristol board. (No computer paper, please.) Be sure to cut this to standard ATC size.

• Any subject matter is allowed. Having said that, avoid sending an image of something your partner has listed as a dislike.

• Please do not create a zentangle or random doodle for this project.

• Write the title of your piece, the date and your name on the back of the ATC. Be sure to include your username and the swap title in the package.

• Send something you would love to receive.

• ENJOY THE PROCESS! Remember, this is an opportunity to try something new, if you've never before done a pen and ink drawing.
