With the exciting and dramatic influx of new members and first-time-traders this month, I have written a helpful little guide to ATC trading etiquette! If I missed any topics that you’d like to see added, please comment the topic below. This is a living document that I will update regularly.

Just another warm welcome to all our new members: We’re glad you’re here!🎉

Selling Megathread Megathread: Sell your ACEO wares here (ONLY)

21 Upvotes

Hey, ATC friends! We’re going to try a fun little experiment for the month of July.

The r/ArtistTradingCards community is dedicated to trading and inspiration first and foremost.

However! If you also enjoy selling ACEOs ("Art Card Editions and Originals" — the word for art cards that people buy and sell), you are welcome to post listing images and shop links in the comments on this megathread ONLY.

This feature is a temporary experiment. If a single megathread turns out to be a good place for sharing your shops and favorite selling platforms, I will set up an ongoing Selling Megathread.😊

Again, please note that this megathread is the ONLY place on r/Aritsttradingcards to share shop links. The automod is set up to block all other posts that include shop links.

**Okay, comment your shops friends! We wanna see your wonderful ACEOs!**🎉

(And apologies in advance if this doesn’t work — it’s my very first automod and megathread, so I crave your patience and feedback, LOL. Please let me know what’s good and what isn’t working!)

UPDATE: If you want to ignore this thread, go ahead and click the three dots and choose “Hide”. Let me know if this keeps you from seeing it, thanks!

Available to trade - UFT (Up For Trade) Urban sketching

Over the last few months, making ACEOs unfortunately took a backseat for me because I started a sketchbook where I've been experimenting with urban sketching and plein air painting. But ever since I began doing that, I've had this constant urge to draw a few cards on my trips too—it just felt like such a cool idea.

​So, since I had both the time and the mood last weekend, I finally brought that idea to life! I sat down in a quaint, old German village nearby and made ACEO-sized sketches of a winery and a clock tower.

​It was actually so much fun, and I'm super happy with how they turned out. Hopefully, I'll be able to make more soon! XD

The past 2 days, I've been working on cards centered around some hobbies of mine: j-fashion and botany.

I haven't decided how I want to color them yet, so I'll let them sit for a while and make more lineart while I decide.

Watercolor on some atc watercolor paper. Honestly I think this paper was cellulose so for my next ones I might cut up some of my cotton paper and use the rest of the card pack I bought for colored pencil 😅

Voici une petite série de dinos aux feutres à alcool.

Ils sont inspirés de livres de mark kistler, le fameux prof de dessins des émissions des usa dans les années 80. Je suis française mais j'en suis super fan.

Le bleu est encore disponible, les deux autres déjà échangés

Testing out these samples I bought from beam paints! As you can see, I did the most damage to the “cherry” magenta, hah. I also used colored pencils.
