Desk inventory
A scatter of drawing tools on white: striped pencils, paper clips, pins, a compass, a craft knife and two rulers.
Before a drawing, everything on the desk gets spread out flat. The scatter becomes a quick inventory: striped pencils in several lengths, coloured paper clips, push pins, a compass, a pink craft knife, a sharpener, an eraser and two see-through rulers.
Colour in the measuring tools
The two rulers are the least obvious objects here: one yellow-green, one pink, both translucent so the drawing stays visible underneath. Their colour is there to be found, not to be looked through.
