Slight break from posting London sketches, here is a drawing of my shoulder bag. Getting the right shoulder bag is essential, it needs to fit my 8″x5″ sketchbook, pencil case, paints, sunglasses, my iPad mini, and have room maybe for a drink and another mini sketchbook. This one fits all that easily. It still feels a little big sometimes but it has enough small pockets without being overloaded with them. I also love the colours. I’m really into yellow and grey, or yellow and black, especially a warm yellow like this one has. It’s Timbuk2, which means it just folds over and doesn’t have a zip (I do prefer a zip) but it’s lined well so it keeps things dry. The strap is very comfortable too. Trusted companion.
