In case you don't recall my last attempt at a drawing bag, it was a mess! (Check it out here: When things get out of hand.) That one is mostly torn apart, now, and some of the leather pieces were used to build a more streamlined bag. There are only two compartments...one for the sketch book and one for drawing tools. It's much more convenient to take with me, now, since it's small and light and still carries what I need. Just for fun, I also carved some simple designs in the cover. I'll probably carve some more in other places, eventually, but I won't obsess about it.
