First upload of the year, and January is almost done (it's a long story).

This was done quickly on my phone.

Bag meme explanation:
I go almost everywhere with a small gym bag, and I carry my art stuff just in case inspiration strikes me. It sounds novel, but I tend to do most drawings on my phone (I really should sketch more...).

1) Clipboard: I use this as a clean or hard surface to draw on. Nothing really special.

2) Accordion folder: I could do another bag meme with the items I have inside here: two cheap 9 X 11" drawing books that I'm doing a comic in (one of these days I'll complete it and post it here), 1 set square (45°), various personal documents, 1 sketch pad (it was originally 10 X 12" but I cut it to about 8 X 5" or something like that), various scrap drawings.

3) Pencil case: Like the Accordion folder, I could do yet another meme with the items I have in here: four 0.5 mechanical pencils (one I've been trying to repair for upwards of 10 years), 3 Sakura Micron pens (0.2, 0.3 & 0.8), 1 Sakura brush pen, various black ball point pens (about 5 or 6), 1 black gel pen (I've no idea why it's still in there), about 5 flash drives (one is for storing scans of anything I draw while at work <the home scanner hasn't been working for about 2 years>, and any stories I'm working on) one has Touhou Hisotensoku which I can only play on windows machines, one has a couple of anime movies/series and the others are blank), 1 eraser, 1 safety pin <which I'm using to repair one of the mechanical pencils with>) & 1 back up Pogo stylus that I use for drawing on my phone.

4) Cheap plastic pencil case: I store my coloured gel pens (used in my pen sketch series), 2 Tombow brush pens (black and grey), 1 white brush pen (that I haven't gotten around to even testing as yet) and a couple of coloured ball point pens.

5) Glasses case: I wear my glasses all the time, but the case holds the cloth I use to clean the lens so I would have to use my shirt all the time.

6) Mini folder: I use this to store small pieces of scrap paper, and sketch/story idea and notes. This comes very handy.

Additional Items: I usually leave these out when I'm not going to work.

7) Phone charger: My phone has to recharge twice a day. It's not so bad while I'm at work, but when I'm not, it's pretty difficult to look for an outlet to plug it in.

8) Back-up wallet: It's exactly as it sounds...I call it my "Vex money" stash.

9) Small umbrella: Excellent for light showers, terrible for heavy rains or wind. Seriously, if there's a heavy shower it's useless...but better than nothing!
