Realistic drawing board and clipboard tips


When drawing, you need support to do it, right? In this article, we'll talk about drawing boards and drawing boards.

Is it really necessary to have them to start drawing? Worth the cost benefit?

Read on to learn more!

  • Do I need a drawing board to start drawing?
  • Professor Charles Laveso tells us that, when he started drawing, he didn't really care about drawing boards and/or drawing boards.

A smooth surface was enough to support the paper , which did not have any irregularity that would interfere with the drawing. I took a piece of MDF, glued the design with masking tape and thus drew.

Sometimes at the kitchen table, sitting on the bed… And he also drew while sitting on a stool, with the drawing on a surface resting on his lap.

But we know that uncomfortable positions, in addition to harming the quality of the design, can also harm health in the long run. That's why it's important to consider the sitting position for drawing.

Don't wait to buy a good drawing table or drawing board to start drawing
As Charles says:

  • Who draws, even draws on bread paper.
  • This sentence brings a truth. If the person really likes it, he won't stop doing it, one way or another. In other words, the difficulties will only be challenges, not excuses for not doing it.
  • When you change the perspective, looking for solutions and not difficulties, creativity comes into play. All available resources are used to achieve what you want.
  • So, here are some tips for drawing tables and drawing boards!


In the absence of a drawing table, any type of table or desk can be used. Or any other surface that supports it.


  • Easels with MDF or glass on top;
  • French hands with plank attached to the wall;
  • Dining table;
  • Anyway! Any surface supported by a solid base. The options are endless.
  • Table Tips
  • Now, if you can get your own drawing table, here are some tips.

A well-known and reputable brand of desk brands for designers and designers is Trident . Below are some examples of models.

  • Drawing table
  • The first is the model I use, it's detachable, easy to transport and has height and tilt adjustments for the top.

The second one also has a tilt adjustment and also a ruler that helps to stop the materials on top. The base doesn't dismount, but it has the advantage of not having the vertical feet in front getting in the way of the legs.

The third is similar to the one of Charles in the cover image, with support for a computer, keyboard and even another surface above the table. Also with height and inclination adjustments.

The last one is a table with a glass top and a light underneath, it already plays the role of a light table as well. It has height and inclination adjustments, and its huge lighted area makes it possible to work with large drawings or projects.

This sequence is arranged in order of simplicity , starting with the simplest and going to the most complete. Also raising prices, of course.

However, they all serve the purpose of pencil drawing very well .

There are also other brands specializing in tables for artwork.

Let's look at some examples:

  • Drawing table
  •  Clipboard Tips
  • The drawing board is a great option to use when drawing.
  • It serves not only to support the drawing in the absence of a table, but it can also be used on top of the drawing table, when it has a not very smooth surface.

It also serves to leave the design in a slightly slanted position.

using creativity
Any smooth surface will do!

  • MDF;
  • Glass;
  • Some types of plastics, acrylic…
  • drawing boards
  • There are several brands and models of drawing boards. Here we are going to bring just a few, the best known among designers.


The first is a common Trident clipboard with an acrylic paper clip.

The second , from the Mocho brand , has the advantage of tilting with height adjustment. Disassembled it is flat and thin, like an ordinary drawing board.

The third one , also from the Trident brand , is more complete, with a ruler and is also a briefcase that serves to store and transport design materials.

  • The designer's working environment
  • The drawing board is one of the parts that make up the designer's working environment . And every draftsman, even if he starts drawing on any surface at the beginning, is always willing to find a more elaborate corner for himself.

Let's see below, this is the drawing space of one of our students in the Virtual Course , designed by an architect (her daughter) and made-to-measure.

Thus, there is the possibility of externalizing your personality and creating an environment that pleases you.


Final considerations
We agree that beyond the practical matter, drawing tables and drawing boards have their value for the designer in terms of style. They are part of the so dreamed of drawing space .

Whenever there is the possibility of purchasing better products, why not ?

  • However, if your financial conditions at the moment do not allow you the luxury of choosing what you like, the design alone is the most important. So we must look for ways that help us in the process, according to our limitations.

If you're making excuses for not having this or that to draw, ask yourself:

  • Are you really willing to draw?
  • Sometimes we even have a lot of desire to draw, but what is really lacking is determination . N will let your excuses are sufficient to prevent him from drawing!
