Midweek Photo: Pencil Storage Again

 Two things i want to comment on:

My big pencil case holds 120 pencils.  

You'd think that would be enough for everyday use.  No, i've had to move greys and flesh tones to a smaller case.  And i resorted them to put only the most used ones in, which works out to mainly the Faber Castell ones, moving out all but one of the Luminance  ones and quite a few Derwents.

The amazing thing is how much lighter the case became, substituting narrower-barrelled FC and Lyra Rembrandts for the Coloursoft and Luminance.

Below, i've got a picture of my weirdly bent paperclip on a pencil case  zipper. i should remove it, the paperclip.  It's a relic of the days when i used primarily Prismacolors.  

With the Prismacolors, i sharpened the pencils a lot, going through them quickly.  And maybe 25-50 times in a two hour session i would have to use my paperclip to dig pencil parts out of the sharpener.  

i don't need to do that any more.  Though i do miss the fantastic range of Prismacolors.
