I would keep them, but I have nowhere to keep them at home.

Also, I have nothing to draw with because mum won't get me a pencil.

WHAT?! Then use what you can find, pens, charcoal (for grilling if necessary), markers, chalk, soapstone, anything! And just a cheap $.50 folder is all you need to keep your drawings.

I can't draw with pens, and I need a certain pencil to draw with.

I don't have 50c for a folder. T_T

Do you have an old box? That will help. As for pencil types, what do you use, hard or soft leads?

Ones that don't break when I sharpen them. I like HB pencils the most for some reason.

Oh wait, I do have a folder at home. It's under the bed in my room...

HB? I think that's the best overall lead. And you might want to try an electric pencil sharpener, it lessens the breakage.

You can use any notebook to draw anything, doodles, pencil drawings, etc.
If you have a scanner or camera, you can store them in the computer.

I don't have a scanner so what I do is I photograph my pictures with my digital camera. A scanner would be better, but my camera actually does a decent job.

And actually I like it more because it's faster

Just practice a shedload. And if you want to draw portraits, learn the proportions first.

YES! Proportion is the key!
