Frequently Asked Questions
What are sketch boards with clips used for?
A sketch board with a clip gives you a firm, portable surface for drawing and sketching. The clip holds your paper or pad securely, so the sheets won't blow away outdoors. It's useful for drawing in the field, on trips, or in the studio when you need to work away from a table.
What sketch board format should I choose?
A3 is the most practical format for drawing outdoors and while traveling, and it fits easily into a backpack. Larger boards are useful for more detailed drawings and larger pads in the studio. Choose a size based on the paper format you work with most often.
How do you attach a board to an easel?
You can simply rest the lightweight sketch board against the crossbar of an easel or attach it to the easel. Hold the paper in place with the clip, and you can draw while standing. Paired with an easel, it gives you a comfortable work surface in the studio or outdoors.
What is the difference between a sketch board and a drafting board?
A sketch board with a clip is lightweight and portable, made for freehand drawing and sketching outdoors. A drafting board with a ruler is heavier and used for precise technical drawing at a table. If you're looking for a surface for precise drafting, see the drafting boards category.
