was buying art supplies as a gift for someone else and asked for advice in the art supply store. They proceeded to point me at a very suitable sketchbook. I wanted to buy one, but my favorite size was sold out. They said these went like hotcakes. New art supply tools continually arrive on the market. When we find great drawing tools, we tend to hoard them and tell others about them. And so these specific supplies sell out quickly.
Next time you are at an art supply store—and I am not saying you should go to an art supply store! You should be filling the sketchbooks you already have with the pens and pencils you already have—but next time you find yourself in an art supply store, ask them what is popular right now and find out what other artists find worth buying!
Yours sincerely,
