Drawing/Painting Resource combination #6!?

Hello everyone,
   Would you like to keep all your pencils, markers, paint brushes, paint tubes, etc., in one pouch? Do you think storing your art materials are expensive? Are you concerned with how much space pens, and pencils can take up while you're on-the-go? No worries, there are (inexpensive) answers to your questionable woes.
       If you're out a lot, and want to sketch with a lot your of drawing supplies, you can purchase a pencil pouch! You can, for example, keep all of your pens, pencils, and markers, all in one place (i.e., the pouch)! Not only is it convenient for keeping all of your drawing supplies in one pouch, but it's also light and small; the size and weight makes travelling with your drawing supplies convenient! The only draw back is that all of your drawing tools are thrown in one pouch. There is no ability to organize your materials, which means you will have to fish around within the pouch to find the correct drawing instrument/tools.
       An alternative to the pencil pouch is the pencil roller. If you want to be more organized with your drawing tools, you can slip your tools in slots large enough to hold most pens, pencils, and markers. Generally, pencil rollers will have (but not all will) pockets/pouches to fit non-drawing tools, such as a tiny sketchbook, or paper, for instance. However, there are trade-offs to a pencil roller. One trade-off is that you cannot take a large quantity of drawing tools with you (if you're out and drawing often). Another trade-off is that the pencil roller is not as easy to travel with as a pencil pouch; if the pencil roller is at a particular angle, your materials may fall out. Then again, using a pencil roller may be ideal for your drawing development, especially if you want to train to use certain drawing tools (and improve your skills), only to focus on certain drawing aspects. 
     If you want to take your sketch books with you (and additional art supplies), you may want to purchase a tote bag. Tote bags are convenient to not only carry drawing tools, but also other art materials, such as water color paint tubes/acrylic paint tubes, brushes, or even a few medium sized sketch books! The tote bag is convenient enough to travel with, and easy to store your materials. The trade-off is that some tote bags out there are not able to protect your art supplies from the weather (e.g., rain/snow). Additionally, some tote bags do not have slips for your art supplies; instead, they have pouches. While pouches are convenient to fit a large amount of supplies, the supplies are more prone to falling out of the pouch.
    Regardless on what you choose to travel with, just remember, have fun drawing (and painting)! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below, or contact me via e-mail. I hope this was helpful! Enjoy!:
