What's in My Bag - Sketch Kits - Featuring the Sendak Artist Roll

[@ashleybravin]

Thank you for this overview - I just got a Sendak roll myself, so I've been looking for inspiration for how to fill it. So looking forward to putting it all together!

[@cerealnana]

@@ashleybravin Oooh! Have fun! Mine has pretty much stayed how I set it up initially.

[@ashleybravin]

@@cerealnana Thank you so much! I’m very excited to fill mine! ♥️🎨

[@seemownay]

Video idea: Share the testing of all the travel brushes! I'd love to see that!

[@cerealnana]

I could do that! It would have to be from an amateur perspective because I do not know what I am doing! I'll need to find where I put the rest of them...

[@sakshinash]

omg sooo love this! Also I died @1:51 where the blue travel brush bristles got squished shoving it in 😱

[@cerealnana]

I have been waiting for someone to comment on that! I saved it right after I finished filming. I think. I hope.

[@CatinaLeon]

I gasped so hard xD

[@TracieWho]

@@cerealnana I was thinking "Well, at least it was just an Arrtx....lol". I would have died if it were the rosemary & Co or the Escodas. Nothing like giving your audience an occasional EEK ! 🤣

[@cerealnana]

@@TracieWho you should see how crazy careful I am now!

[@verschwenderin]

I almost died. I am super careful with mine.

[@queenbuzybee4074]

I love what you‘re doing! It’s great. Don’t be hard on yourself, perfectionism sucks! I think you just inspired me to pick up sketching again. I‘m really, really out of practice. I saw a video the other day where someone challenged themself to a „sketch a day“ for one year and she‘s been doing it for 4 years now. Thanks for the video and the inspiration!

[@cerealnana]

I have that video in my queue! The big problem I'm having is that I'm such a zombie at the end of the work day! I'm going to try to do it at lunch. Bonus will be that I'll actually have to stop and take lunch!

[@spiralgoddess2399]

I love your video. So nice to hear your voice without music. Keep up the great work.

[@cerealnana]

Thank you! I tend to pick wildly weird music so I am refraining from using it in my videos.

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Great set of art kits there! :)

[@cerealnana]

Totally copied yours on so many things!

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

@@cerealnana I love the Sendak Artist Roll :) 🥰❤️

[@silvertales]

I covet that Sendak roll… and a number of their pouches (in Moss, because that green is GORGEOUS,)

[@cerealnana]

I wish I could have all the things by them! It feels nice and cold in the hand.

[@ladyhollman9534]

And I thought I took a lot of pens with me 😊 I also like that thin case. Very nice …

[@cerealnana]

Thank you!

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I've brought back some of my white pens by cleaning the end with alcohol.

[@cerealnana]

The gel pens? I am totally going to try that! Thank you!

[@MissMarilynDarling]

OMG those are the cutest tiniest spray water bottles I've ever seen

[@cerealnana]

I'm gonna be honest and tell you I bought those years ago because they were cute and have finally found a use for them! I think they were from Daiso?

[@emmacavillsketches]

Thanks for sharing… I also covet those Sendak rolls… maybe one day!

[@cerealnana]

Do it at black Friday and sign up for the newsletter right before so you can get that discount too.

[@hanasonder]

Beautiful pen roll and I'd love to see your sketch your day progress. And it's great to hear you are a fellow librarian :)

[@cerealnana]

Yay for librarians! I am not a real one, I run a library delivery service for the housebound, but I've been amassing a pretty impressive library of our own out of withdrawn stock! Maybe I can count that...

[@hanasonder]

@@cerealnana amazing job, go you!

[@RaspberryColors]

Love your sketching kits!

[@cerealnana]

Thank you! Now I just need to actually sketch!

[@TracieWho]

Well done on getting yourself out there. The only bad art is no art, but I'll bet you are more than a little critical of yourself on that account. Love that Sendak. It's been on my wishlist since I first saw Natasha Newton pull hers out. Maybe if I am extra good and can stick to my no buy (I am an art supply addict), Santa might bring me one for Christmas..lol

[@cerealnana]

If you are in the States they have black Friday sales and you also get a coupon if you sign up for their newsletter. Only way I was able to justify it!

[@TracieWho]

@@cerealnana Cool, thanks for the tip!

[@impish22]

how fun, thanks for sharing

[@cerealnana]

Thanks for watching! Still can't believe people watch my videos!

[@ladyinblack3398]

Yah for the rainbow pencil

[@cherylclough4309]

I, too, fell in love with that Peg and Awl Sendak art roll. Even if it wasn’t terrific on it’s own, what artist could resist something called a Sendak? After pining for it for years, I finally pulled the trigger and bought it. I also bought a pouch in the same color AND had my initials put on both. Once I started I couldn’t seem to stop. I got the same color you have. I love your little kit. So handy. New subscriber!

[@cerealnana]

Nice to meetcha!

[@jessicapp2545]

Love the artwork you show. And the supplies you use. Maybe I can ask where I can find those tiny metal pans for the paint

[@cerealnana]

Thank you! The tiny pans are from Art Toolkit in the States at this link arttoolkit.com/#pans. There is a seller in Europe as well at this link. www.artemiranda.com/art_toolkit_263

[@eileengoldenberg270]

So fun to see what people come up with. I am just wondering why you keep putting your self down? If you enjoy sketching just go do it, no need to say you are not a “good artist”… women need to be confident not always hammering themselves esp if you are clearly going out and sketching. That is GREAT!!!

[@cerealnana]

Thank you so much! I think I just have a little bit of a hang-up about how things aren't yet turning out like I want them to. No way to fix it but practice! I was trying to stress my newbie-ness as well so that people didn't think this was coming from a professional artist perspective. Many of the sketch kit videos are from pros, from what I've seen.

[@Bunnyplans]

Love this! I haven’t unwrapped my peg & awl roll yet but I’m wondering if I should for my trip tomorrow. Goood idea to use a Swedish paper towel - does paint come off?

[@cerealnana]

It doesn't come out completely, stains a bit. That looks pretty too!

[@naomifreya1481]

Hi, I'm in the UK and am an artist that is fascinated with your "super pencil" it's a great idea. If you have an extra, can I buy a cream one from you? With the eraser and 0.5 pencil setup that you have...

[@cerealnana]

Oh man! I do not have a spare. I tend to order the stuff when I go to the States, which won't happen until late March of 2025. You can also buy the parts off AliExpress.

[@Sharon-k3o]

Love your bag video. I too have the Sendak Artist Roll in brown n I love it. I was trying to find the multi mechanical pencil that held the different leads n eraser. (I think it had 5 slots) Was it call Pilot Hi Tech C? I’m in the US n couldn’t find it anywhere. Please advise where I can purchase one n the different leads/eraser supplies.

[@cerealnana]

It is the Coleto. I put out a video today about the pencil with links.

[@debbiebruce6920]

Thanks for sharing what is in your sketch kits. Where did you get the super pencil? Keep more videos coming!

[@cerealnana]

Thank you! I made another video on my channel all about the super pencil with links.

[@phillipstroll7385]

No your work isn't terrible. It's rather good. Be confident in yourself.

[@cerealnana]

Thank you! I will try.

[@ladyinblack3398]

What is the little crab? Is it a knife rest re-purposed as a brush holder? I re-purposed a ceramic fish knife rest to a brush holder

Looks like a chopstick holder, if you ask me. I got the lobster because of an inside family joke from my childhood, but I may need a polar bear for no reason!

[@lkmambo]

Where did you find the double sided watercolor palette that you had in the last kit you went through? Great job curating!!

You rip out the foam and put thin magnet along the bottom of each side. Works perfectly!

[@bearbearjay]

Love love love, where did you get the super pencil and the tiny pad, im in UK ❤

[@cerealnana]

Well, that is tricky. You can't buy them anywhere here that I know of. I do have a spare set(and one other I'm saving for a giveaway when I hit 500). If you want to buy it I will charge you what I paid in the US and shipping. Find me at cerealnana_arts on Instagram if you are interested. I made another video all about the pencil with US links so you can check the prices.

[@kimbaxley7595]

Where did you get the tiny spray bottles and super pencils? Thank you

[@cerealnana]

Links for super pencils are in the description of the video I posted today. The tiny spray bottles were from Daiso, but I've seen them listed on amazon as mini mister or tiny mister bottles.

[@cerealnana]

Add 2ml to search.

[@kathywilliams015]

Where do you get your little sketch books? What size are they?

[@cerealnana]

Amazon UK, but I'm sure similar is on Amazon everywhere. The hardback one is L'oeil Hardback Watercolor Sketchbook: 9x14cm, and the other is Stillman and Birn Zeta.

[@kathywilliams015]

Thank you.

[@selmag5819]

does your sendak feel damp to the touch, too?

[@cerealnana]

Just cold, but I guess that could feel damp in some ways. I freaking love how it feels cold! I'm not sure why.

[@nic5335]

How do you make the super pensil please

[@cerealnana]

I made a video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp7TnWhrj8RofNUsi=vRFCpvnzakHAhosW

[@Broadway789]

Murray Sendak? I studied under him at Parsons School of Design.

[@cerealnana]

I think named in the author's honour, but I can't be sure!

[@PegandAwlBuilt]

Maurice, and yes! We named it in his honour:)

Have no fear; no one is a great artist. We are all on a journey of improvement, and we are all on different spots on that highway. The important thing is that we keep going regardless of when we started the journey. If I may, it's also important you don't go spending money on the things you see advertised by youtubers. That $175.00 sendak roll is NOT going to improve your skills. Nor will any of that other crap. All you need to improve is a pencil, a notebook and willingness to try.

[@cerealnana]

True, but I absolutely love that roll!

What an amazing comment! Thank you so much for this list!

[@greekveteran2715]

@@cerealnana I'm a 43 year old artist.For many years I was testing again and again art supplies, to find out what works the best, for sketching and drawing.This list, has only seen one change in many years, which is the LYRA kneadable eraser,that replaced the Faber Casstell one,because it works better than any other! Glad you liked it! Cheers!!
