a drawing gift guide

Looking for simple gifts for someone who draws or is looking to incorporate drawing into their creative routine? Consider assembling a gift basket full of drawing supplies, give them a class or invest in a few great products that will inspire them. I have put together a handful of ideas get you thinking about giving drawing supplies for gifts.

Sketchbooks are a great gift. Gather a few different types, bundle together and give as gift. You can find a great variety here

This will always be my favorite gift to receive!

or give a handmade sketchbook like this one from Raspberrie Press

or this handmade leather sketchbook from To Boldly Fold

a set of micron drawing pens to go with the sketchbook from Sakura

a set of drawing pencils- Staedtler is my favorite brand

a complete drawing set from prismacolor for the beginner

a unique pencil sharpener from blick

or a fun robot pencil sharpener from boys to men

you can't go wrong with kneaded erasures- they would make a great stocking stuffer

or a unique novelty eraser from here

How about a handmade pencil case like this hand stitched leather one from Chii Designs

to keep all those pens and pencils.

or this pretty pencil case from pilo

or this one from pilli pilli- how cute is this?!?!

of course I have to recommend the Koi Watercolor Field Sketch Set from Sakura as you know it is one of my favorite products out there

and a Koi Water Brush

My friend Jane LaFazio teaches sketchbook and watercolor online and live classes here and here and they would make a great gift for those wanting to learn

or this fabulous online class from Carla Sonheim.

Carla also has a great drawing book that can be purchased here or here

(What a great pair the class and the book would make!)

Dawn Sokol's Doodle Diary would also make a fabulous gift!

Dawn also has a great doodling resources on her site

These are just a few of the THOUSANDS of drawing and sketching products out there! Think outside the box, look for unique and simple supplies and give the gift of drawing this holiday :)
