- 1: Take a picture of your workspace.
- 2: Show your pencilcase and what’s inside.
My workspace feels a little bit mobile lately, and it’s broken into pieces because I’m not in an ideal situation, but!
This is my desk that is not really meant to be used the way I’m using it, and is in fact super uncomfortable. I lost an actual art desk when I had to move and this was just some weird side table my mother had.
I have the drawers just crammed with stuff. This one has three types of paint, three(?!) types of ink, two bottles of watercolor medium, sponges, palettes, a spray bottle, salt, and probably some gum.
My television is primarily a second monitor, even though it is hooked up to cable for some reason. The stuff here is a little plastic tub of some pills my mom wanted me take the last time my uterus really hurt, iridescence medium, granulation medium, liquid frisket and remover, and a little ceramic pill box that actually contains pen nibs.
The holders for said pen nibs, frisket nibs, more scissors that I thought I owned, two X-acto knives, a hole puncher, a fountain pen from Tinsnip, a flexible ruler, and a fuck ton of extra pens and pencils.
The wall in front of me is usually covered in more post it notes than that, but otherwise this is what I see while I’m working. That’s headphones and a lei on that face, yes. One of my Ippei Gyoubu prints, papyrus, and the Voodoo Homicides painting from like 2009 draped in random necklaces. Also a Portland postcard featuring a photo that was taken just across the footbridge from where I used to live, and a few tickets from the lightrail.
This is my current sketchbook.
The paints I usually have with me, and two water-inside watercolor brushes, plus my art box.
WHICH CONTAINS:
A pair of kinda cheap Wonder Woman headphones.
My flash drive, with its elaborate tail that I used to keep from losing the thing before I thought to keep it in here.
This Bert’s Bees Pomegranate lip balm from 2011(?) that I am determined to get to the end of, and thus attain divinity.
A plastic eraser I never use, a kneaded eraser I need to replace, and two refill erasers for one of my pencils.
Mechanical pencils. I really like green.
Another water brush. (And my cat’s tail.)
This skull bead for some reason.
and all these pens.
- 12: Favorite thing to draw?
People and expressions, blood, sparkles/space, people with really unnatural pointy joints, unsettling eyes, Cardassian ridges, collar bones, terrifying teeth, feet.
