I decided to sketch on my iMac and use SketchbookPro which has a great many tools. It has layers and more which I haven't practiced so this sketch took me over half an hour. It was fun to do. I don't have a tablet or fancy mouse. I drew with my regular Apple wireless mouse. I had to go to the "line" to make the straight lines. Very hard to draw a straight line with a mouse. You can tell I didn't use it too much. The eye glasses are way too small. The glue stick grew in length and so forth. Maybe you can tell what other items are?? Click on it to make it bigger.
There is a good article by Richard McKinley in the ArtistsNetwork Newsletter, http://goo.gl/YuEsGK
Richard McKinley's article, Painting Like a Sculptor. He talks about the comparison of sculpting and painting. We, painters, have to sculpt our subjects with light and dark.

I need incentive.
Looks like you've got all the necessities there. I don't have a way to do digis. That is probably a good thing since I don't seem to have much time lately.
Bag Blog, I'm sending you some good vibes!
Joan, you should get you a drawing program. I'm sure there are free ones you can download. I bought Sketchbook Pro, not too expensive for the "light" version as I recall, about $20.
Hmmm...I see a memory card, a Sharpie, rubber bands, and an eraser? Not sure about the rest. A tape measure?
Joanna, you are right. Tape measure. And the memory card thingy is a battery for the hot spot. Runs cooler without it.
