My physical space - Marker Storage! (Patreon)

One of the things you asked for in the most recent poll was more detail on my physical space. Here's where I store all my markers! 

Wasted Talent was mostly marker so I have.... a LOT. I don't want to think about how much it's worth haha... suffice it to say that I've gone through a lot of different methods of organizing markers through the years. I used to keep them in, like... little specialized holders that keep them upright. Which was nice, but it only worked for one type of marker. After that I kept them in a tackle box batched by colour. Which worked ok until I outgrew it. 

This system has been with me for awhile, and it works great! The markers are loosely batched by primary colour. I basically just shuffle through the individual colours, picking out the ones I want. 

But what else is in here...

Top drawer is paper! I used to have a lot more in here but now it's being taken over by vinyl for the cutter.

Then pens and pencils. I used to have way more different types of micron, but now I just have a huge pile of 01 and Graphic 1 haha. I only use two types of pencil also (Bic 0.7HB and col-erase blue.) My watercolour kit is on the far right under my ames guide (used for lettering). The drawer below that is rulers and tools, then markers. 

Second to last are all my paints! I keep acrylic, watercolour, and gouache. The sculpey I have never, ever, ever used. why do I have that lol. 

The last drawer is for finished works! 

I love this drawer set soooooo much, I really think of it as the heart of my studio. It's an Ikea Alex and I highly recommend it for artists, because the drawers are really wide. My dream is to put another layer of table on top of this that I can use to stream drawing :)
