Drawing Notes:

This bat is gliding towards you with his wings spread wide. Each point on the wing represents one of his fingers as the wings are skin stretched between the fingers. His feet dangle at the bottom in the center of the drawing. This bat has his ears pointed upward to listen to his echolocation sounds.

Drawing notes:

These are the smallest bats drawn. They were created to fit on an artist trading card (ATC) which is 6 rows down and 14 cells wide. Look at the Skeleton Keys, vertical ATC drawing to see another layout that works on an ATC card. I figured if I am trading, why not trade some braille drawings.
