More portable than a drafting table and larger than a clipboard, a drawing board is an essential item for draftspeople of all levels. Drawing boards make sure your drawing paper is backed by a hard sketching surface. Keep a larger one in the studio, and slip a smaller one into a portfolio for travel. Boards come in a variety of materials including Masonite, plastic, wood, and resin. Whether you’re looking for a flat board or an option with an adjustable angled top, we’ve got you covered.
