    Drawing notes:

    Our first bat is drawn as an outline so you can have fun coloring him. The second bat is drawn as a solid to define the silhouette shape you see at dusk or dawn.

    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.
