Field Kit

Since I'm working a new job and now have an hour off for lunch, I decided to make myself a little field kit. I hate wasting time and I love giving myself projects, so I'm carrying this with me everywhere and spending at least two hours (one before work, one during lunch) drawing each day. This kit includes: a booklet of 4"x6" watercolor postcards, small water color kit, jar of walnut ink, jar of water for ink, jar of water for watercolors, 4 brushes, a pencil, two markers, and a pen. I also usually carry a 9"x12" pad of bristol with me when I can. Here are some of the things I've made in the past two weeks (in the wonky order in which they uploaded). Click on images to enlarge.
