Abstract
When people are beginning to pursue art, it is often difficult for them to get into the routine of sketching consistently. There are many products on the market from sketchbooks to drawing pads and even just plain old notebook paper. However, most of these products are not comprehensive. They are bulky or cumbersome and attempt to target too wide of a range of mediums. Most contain tools alone and neglect the actual sketchbook aspect of sketching. Sketching is the main way people practice and develop their drawing skills and as such is very important to becoming a better artist. The “Creative Compact”, and subsequent supporting items, have been created to enhance the individual's sketching and facilitate the creation of a healthy sketching habit.
