I'm glad to hear that, I hope that helps bring your art to another level. I'm still trying to overcome my awkwardness being in front of a camera, but it's been fun too!

[@hafiz2664]

What a great idea to preserve your sketchbooks! Also how about showing your digital process?

[@Drewscape-art]

Ok, I will remember to do that down the road. It’s often half natural and half digital. I’d love to show that:)

You should love the work of Lewis Trondheim

[@jellymiu]

Thank you for sharing. Always inspiring to see your art and the way you store your art stuff. My books and sketchbooks all turned spotty because the humidity and I had to dispose them to get rid of the spores. Dry cabinet is great, I use it to store smaller paper items but will have to get a rather large one to store bigger paper. May I know how many Litres is your dry cabinet?

[@Drewscape-art]

Hi Jellymiu, oh no. Must be a sad thing to let them go, all because of spores. The dry cabinet I have is 90 litres, I believe. And I have 2. But it does take up space and uses minimal electricity. It does keep my unused papers fresh. However, I believe that watercolour paper will still lose its quality after some time if you don't use it soon enough, even if it is in the dry cabinet. Compared to the dry cabinets, I think the vacuum seal bags are a lower investment. That is my more recent solution to storing my sketchbooks. I used to just leave them in a cupboard. I left a link for the bags in the video description.

@@Drewscape-art Hey, thank you so much for sharing, it helps heaps. Yah, I am quite keen in those bags. I have used regular ziplock bags but don’t think they are foolproof.

[@Drewscape-art]

Yes ziplock only has one seal and it didn’t work well for me. But the vacuum seal ones are double sealed. I’d recommend the ones with the part to stick the vacuum machine nozzle to. It helps to suck up the air in the bag fast.

[@jellymiu]

@@Drewscape-art yeah thank you for your recommendation. Will be ordering those bags!
