A couple of people asked, so here it is. I don’t think I’m very good at talking about my artistic process and I haven’t done any sort of tutorial or anything before, so I hope it won’t be completely useless and unhelpful.

There are several essentials I can’t do without when working: tea (constant supply), cat and some sort of music, podcast (history or vintage horror radio, usually) or film on (nothing I haven’t seen before though). I often draw anywhere and everywhere, but having a specific space set aside for working is really the best. Good light, comfort and plenty of space is important. Also, if you are working with watercolor it’s important to have clean water (if you are using traditional brushes, though I am so used to working with my re-fillable travel brush that it’s pretty much my only tool), napkin or paper towel to clean your brush off on and a small bit of paper to test your colors on before applying them directly to the painting.
