Just wanted to say hi to you all and explain what is coming with the online drawing course on my website: LZMstudio.com

A year or more ago I found the Erasable Podcast and their Facebook page which opened the door to obsessed PENCIL GEEKS LIKE ME! Thank goodness, because as a lone pencil geek, my students and people found me odd. But in this group, I have a mild interest in pencils and while I don't collect them, I use a heck of a lot of pencils day-to-day! So here was my first trade with a fellow pencil geek, and it definitely was fun enough to want to trade more!

I treated myself for the holidays and bought 5 sets of pencils! Check out my haul, and stay tuned to future reviews so I can share my experience with each brand of pencil: Marco Raffine, Faber-Castell, Caran D'ache, Mitsubishi Hi-Uni and Tombow Homo-Graph Mono pencils.

My most exciting new drawing tool, the Slate, records my drawings digitally as I draw and paint on real paper with real pencils and brushes!
