Pencil Test!

Draw

Easy

This kit is all about discovering what different colored pencils feel like to draw with. Try each brand on both ATC blanks by doodling, shading, sketching, or filling in small areas of color. Pay attention to how smoothly each pencil glides across the paper, how vibrant the colors are, and which ones you enjoy using the most. If you'd like, use a permanent marker afterward to draw simple faces, objects, or doodles over your color tests. There are no wrong answers—this kit is simply about experimenting and finding your favorites.
Once you feel the card is complete, sign and date the back.
(Optional: Glue an ATC backing to the back and fill it out.)

Permanent marker (optional)

  • 2 ATC Blanks

  • 2 ATC Backings
