My Drawing Space

I have too many kids and too small of a house to have my own drawing studio. That will come someday, I hope! In the meantime, I am on the run constantly so my "drawing studio" has to be portable. I carry my most important items in this bag:

This bag accompanies me everywhere I go and I try to draw while I'm waiting to pick up kids at school, waiting for appointments, anywhere really. But when I'm home, my drawing space is my kitchen table:

3. A couple of other Copic Markers in a plastic bag.

I draw on this:

A watercolor pad with 140 lb. coldpress.

So, that's it... not very glamorous, but definitely functional.
