UPDATED WORKSPACE.

A little over a year ago, I made a post about my workspace. Like every artist out there a workspace is essentially the most important part of the whole process. A workspace can tell you so much about an artist and how they go about approaching their medium. I like the saying that goes kind of like how the organization of a place is a reflection of one's thought process. The neater my workspace is, the more productive I get. That doesn't mean that my station never gets messy though. When I'm really into my work, that's when things get a little messy, haha. The cleanup part is also kind of fun anyways. 

If you've been reading AeroDynamo for a while now, you can see how much has changed in a year. I decided to install shelves and add a bit of decoration to my area. All the tags and other stuff I had posted on my wall are still with me! I'm looking for another way to incorporate them. 

The clear containers are from Muji. Originally I had these pens in a black box and it was such a pain fishing through them to find the right one. I'm so glad that I've stumbled upon these organizers at Muji. Quite the space saver too! Ever since I decided to place my Copics up on the shelves, my desk space expanded so much. 

Heh, got these two Sonny Angel figurines from a local toy store, they are also the limited edition Ladurée figures! The Voluspa candle smells absolutely wonderful. I normally light it when I want to draw and relax. The smell is very light and not overbearing, I'm not a fan of super sweet scents. 

Another candle, lol. I got this one from Anthropologie! It's Espresso scented and like the Voluspa one, it isn't a scent that is way too strong. I light this one when I want to study, the scent of coffee makes me feel a lot more concentrated. 

This super awesome DIY marquee is from Michaels. You can actually customize it any way you want as the material is a stiff cardboard, but I'd rather leave it clean and white. 

I find that these three things basically sum up my personality. lol. The skull is actually a pen holder but I like it better as a decorative item. 

Lastly, my Copics. I got a new set earlier this year as a birthday gift to myself. 

One day, instead of a workspace tour, I'll be posting a studio tour. 

Thanks for reading!

My Workspace

I promised this post, so here we go! Every artist has their own special place where they do their magic, be it in their home or elsewhere. If I were the one completely in charge, then I would've bought myself a studio somewhere in the arts district, but then again, that's just wishful thinking. 

For some reason, I'm never satisfied with how my desk is. I don't remember the amount of times I've rearranged how it, but somehow it always falls the same in every single way. Thank god for Pinterest. I don't have one myself, but I do love browsing through people's boards based on desk arrangements.

Having a corner desk, it's really nice being able to work and draw, and basically create utilizing natural sunlight. My desk lamp on the far left is perfect when it gets dark. It's small, but the light is real strong. On the right are my babies, my COPIC markers and watercolours. I think I'd save these first if my house was on fire. Towards the center are a bunch of little doo-dads that I find appealing. 

I've got some tags on my wall as well, from my favorite brands and from tags that I just find really cool. There's an instant film also on there of my desk, hehe. 

Notes from two my closest friends. If I'm in a bad place mentally I just look up and read them, they give me an extra boost to start creating again! 

Various notebooks and moleskines. I've got two large watercolour moleskines that have yet to be filled, and two smaller ones for drawing as well. The other ones I use for note taking and whatnot. 

Thanks for reading! Also, if you're an artist, what does your workspace look like?
