Drawing Tables...Opinions..

[carly]

The Office Depot or Staples both carry a really nice drawing table with a chair or around 129 - 200. Depends on the size and quality...etc. The top of the table is adjustable for drawing. And some come with lighting, too.

If you have a table already, just cut a couple blocks of wood on a slant, then attach a piece of board or masonite..for a tilted surface.

I want to buy a drawing table so my animal drawings don`t lean and was wondering if a drawing table would help and has it improved your drawings?And is there an inexpensive ones you can make?

Animal, I've recently come to the conclusion that I'd like a drafting table myself. However, the ones in the style I'd prefer are a bit out of my price range. Ideally, I'd like one with a split top, so part stays flat while the main portion slants. So I decided I'm going to do what Carly recommended, buy a regular table, then attach a smaller surface area with hinges. That way I can tilt it, supported on blocks, or lay it flat. Or, remove it altogether if I want. Can anyone see a problem with that idea?
