Howdy,

So I have my supplies, but I was wondering if it would be ok to punch holes in my printer paper to organize it into a binder? Just wanted to make sure I do everything right! Also, If you know of any already-bound printer paper (like a notebook) please let me know!

That would certainly be a-okay. It's a good way to keep your stuff organized, while still avoiding working in sketchbooks. I would probably recommend punching holes in them after you've finished your work though - and don't worry too much if the holes fall on top of your linework, as the benefit of those drawings comes from having produced them, rather than in their preservation after the fact.

There is no "right" ... it's "whatever works."

Are you using conventional printer paper for drawings? Consider a perforated sketchbook that allows you to tear out individual sheets. The texture is usually much better to work with.
