       6 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein said drawing utensil is removably connected to said receptacle by way of reciprocal removable connection. 
   
   
       7 . The container according to  claim 6 , wherein said reciprocal removable connection comprises a seat obtained in said receptacle for housing of a respective end of said handgrip element. 
   
   
       8 . The container according to  claim 6 , wherein said reciprocal removable connection acts between said handgrip element and said lateral containment surface of said receptacle. 
   
   
       9 . The container according to  claim 8 , wherein said reciprocal removable connection comprises at least one fastening tooth projecting from said containment surface and a blocking seat defined on a middle section of said handgrip element, the removable connection being obtained when said projecting tooth is removably inserted with interference inside said blocking seat. 
   
   
       10 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein said drawing utensil, when connected to said receptacle, has said working portion lying inclined with respect to said handgrip element. 
   
   
       11 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein said drawing utensil, when connected to said receptacle, has said working portion lying perpendicular with respect to said handgrip element. 
   
   
       12 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein said drawing utensil comprises a flexible connecting segment between said working portion and said handgrip element. 
   
   
       13 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein said drawing utensil comprises blocking means for holding said working portion and said handgrip element in a blocked position.
