Drawing Board 17 x 24 Double Clip with Hardware Corner Guard Sketch Board Hardboard Drawing Boards for Artists Low Profile Clip Art Clipboard Pack of 1

Perfect for my Art Education major son.

I am not an artist, first off. I sm disabled and spend most of my time in bed wrestling with pillows behind my back that continually slide me lower. I needed a board bigger than a clipboard that I could use for anything from addressing an envelope to balancing an open journal. I love the two clips, that allow horizontal or vertical use, or clipping the form to one and envelope to be addressed to the other, so I can refer between them. The clips are sturdy and don't require an engineering degree to open, unlike the other, larger board I returned. My use is quite prosaic and unlikely to help any artists out there, but it's my experience. It's sturdy, easy to use, and versatile. Highly recommended.

I’m right handed and didn’t like the clip on the right because I needed to place my paint palette on the right. The clip was in the way. I wish the clip could have been removable and the board would have had a handle. Sturdy board so I gave it a three

I really had high hopes for this, especially as it was one of the only double clip options at this size, but it was just too flimsy to be usable. Firstly (and this may be more Amazon's packing and shipping depts than the manufacturer) but it arrived damaged. The edges were crushed because it was so poorly packed but does speak to how soft the actual drawing board material is. To be honest it feels only slightly harder than dense cardboard. It's floppy (I tried doing some figure drawing with it in my lap) and it just bent so easily. I tried to use it on a table with a wedge on one side to have it be at an ergonomic angle and again the center would cave in because of its size vs how flimsy the "mdf" is. Within 20 min it became clear that, if one could ignore the damage from shipping, this is only usable if it's flat on a table (or maybe an easel that's supported across the back with like an x or t brace style) but for me, who has to do work with pencils, markers and ink pens, this is just too soft and unstable to even comfortably rest your forearm on, if even lightly elevated at an angle.

I had hoped to balance my iPad on it with a whiteboard, but doesn’t seem strong enough. I had hoped it would be. Bummed.

A perfect board for watercolor. I don't have much workspace and this allows me to put water and a pallette on the board at the same time as my paper and have it be portable. Love it!
