Keeping your pencils organized
In my last post I let y’all know what I thought were some pretty cool pencil cases, now I’ll show you what kind of cases I use myself. With most things related to writing and drawing keeping instruments organized and clean is something I like to do, especially in my case I use a lot of pencils, charcoal and graphite, the trouble with these kinds of tools is that if you store them along with your pens, brushes etc they’ll get them pretty grubby, thats why I like to use boxes with different compartments.
I usually like to split things up between pencils, pens and brushes, with a big compartment for loose items such as erasers, craft knives, sharpeners, tape etc.
Here’s a few examples of boxes similar to what I use:
Heritage Elmwood Art Supply Storage Box
Large Wooden Artist”s Paint Box
Mabef Beechwood Sketch Box
I have a few different sizes of pencil cases, a big one for my work station, one for when I’m on a job and a nice pocket sized one for everyday use. The thing I like most about them is that I don’t have to dig though all my gear to get what I want, it’s all separated for easy use.
