The process for making a Griefcase can be as simple or as complex as you want. The only real requirements are that you have a container with a handle for mobile deployment and that you have two separate areas: One for the sharing of drawings, and one for art materials. I took great care in assembling the materials for the first Griefcase, and you should probably do the same.
The Griefcase I made cost roughly $300 to make, with the costs split in half between the case and exterior, and the art tools. My guide for how to make a replica of this case is below.
