I hand draw ATC's to give away to people who are helpful or provide extra services. As many of you know, I have many allergies and reactions to food, pollens, metals, perfumes, etc. and frequently servers, airline hosts, hotel personnel, and others go out of their way to make sure I stay healthy. I like to recognize them by giving them an ATC.
I usually use Micron pens, .005 to 08, and do not plan the design out ahead of time. This means I do not pencil it in, but let it grow outwards from the center.
This time, since I knew I was going to film the process, I thought about the design a little bit before I started. Because I had an idea of some of the designs I wanted to use, this ATC took me a little over an hour. The cards usually take between 2-3 hours to complete and are only 2.5 by 3.5 inches.
Usually I work on cards while I wait for appointments or I am on an airplane. They are easy to pick up, work on for a few minutes (or hours), and put away. My supply is running low and they are very relaxing to make, so I felt it was time to doodle some more.
I hope you enjoy the speed run.
Craft an Artsy life.
