Hello @HauntedAdam you say on your profile that you are a young artist looking to trade ATC's, and learn how to make new art. Here in Swap-Bot you should dive into the deep end of the pool that are ATC swaps, handdrawn artwork swaps. In order to receive good quality ATC's you need to do a lot of ATC's yourself. You have plenty of subjects matter for your artwork right where you live: old house, 2 dogs, chickens, garden with beautiful flowers, koi fish pond, etc. Start drawing, painting when you have the time. Begin making ATC's with subject matter you have there near you. It doesn't matter if there aren't ATC swaps for that subject matter, just make them. In future you might use your finished ATC's in swaps. Also, the best way to discover all the possibilities of making ATC's is to collect & keep the ATC's you receive from swaps. There is talent on all levels here. Value this. I'm still learning new things about ATC's & doing different artwork techniques here on Swap -Bot. I make color photocopies of the ATC's I make, before I send them out, the copies I keep in a ring binder notebook as a record of what I've done with ATC's.
