My Go-Bag

timbuk20002This is my favorite messenger bag (yes, I have  more than one, shameful as that is). It is the perfect size for carrying my sketchbook and pencil bag around town.  I can get a book, my iPod, phone, and a bottle of water in there too.

I know I’ve already posted an entry for Everyday Matters Challenge #3 (Purses, Wallets, or Bags), but I’m doing this one for extra credit, OK?

Only two pencils on this one (HB and 2B). No blending, either. I wanted to keep it simple and loose.

On a side note… It’s interesting that the longer I’ve been sketching, the bigger my sketches have gotten. When I look back at the first few pages of my sketchbook, most of my work was tiny. I could have fit a half dozen of these bags on a single page. Today, I ran out of room. Now, I know that running out of room is just the result of poor planning on my part. No secret there. But the fact remains that, for some reason, I’m drawing bigger.

    Don’t be afraid to draw something going off the page. In fact, it often makes the composition a lot more interesting!
