30 Days of Drawing: Getting More Supplies

Today I made a "quick" trip to Hobby Lobby to look for an electric sharpener since my other one is doing more damage than good. I have a love/hate relationship with the art store. I'm sure most artists do. I always end up buying more things than I was planning on. On my way to the drawing section I stumbled on the nautical decor and couldn't resist since everything was 50% off. If you remember, this  past summer I redid my workspace/bedroom studio into a beach theme. I found a nice motivational wall  sign that fits perfect in there. Now I can look at this sign every day.

I found a decent electric sharpener for $10. I needed one urgently so I picked this up in the drawing section. It sharpens fast and leaves a good point - from what I've used in the last hour it does a good job. I'll have to invest in a better one eventually but this should do for the next few weeks.

See why I needed a new sharpener? This was happening to a lot of my pencils.

So here is what I worked on so far this week. I finally started blocking in colors for Tools of the Trade. It's getting to the fun part.

Well thats all for today. Thanks for reading and see you next time.
