I do not have access to many of those things. So I instead did some research and made charcoal sketches on coloured paper based upon image searches I did online. Here are the illustrations I created.
I did them all on blue paper. The images look good in their original colours or in grey scale.
The first illustrations I did were ulus:
The next illustration is of a kamutiq (sled).
The next is of a spider which lives in the far north: Tegenaria gigantea.
The last image is of blubber with skin. Because of the visible textures, it was the most difficult to draw.
