Set Yourself Up For Success
Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
Throughout the years, I have met many artists, and I made a lot of sketcher friends thanks to my drawing practice. When I meet up with them, I always love seeing their tools and the way they organize them. Somehow, it's interesting to see other people's systems and routines. Not that everyone's system makes sense to me - but probably it does for them!
Today, I'd like to share why I think it's important to not just chuck everything into a bag, but be a little organized to set yourself up for a fun drawing session.
