Out of curiousity, are there ANY tables in your apartment? Have you
been drawing for a few years, or just beginning? How far along is your
art if you haven't been drawing for years but not a beginner either?
In my personal experience and oppinion, a drafting table isn't all
that important unless you're like... doing big drafts of stuff and
professional comic pages n junk.
I draw and ink just about anywhere, my lap, my bed, the floor, at work
on a cluttered desk, at the computer with a cluttered desk(granted the
computer itself is kind of distracting so that doesn't always work),
the dining room table if I know I'm not going to be walked in on, and
at the little reading tables at the library across the street from the
postoffice if I have a deadline and the commission has to be mailed
out that very day. XD
Honestly, a drawing table has always baffled me. I've only ever
encountered and used 'em twice in my life - 1 at animation school
where the paper was stuck to pegs and therefore didn't fall off so
that was okay I guess, and then my fiance's while I was visiting him,
and couldn't for the life of me get the bloody paper to stay where i
wanted, it was either too low or sliding all over the place so i ended
up on his bed or at the computer desk again. Maybe it's jsut me, I
like flipping the paper around as I ink n' draw. My drawing board, you
could say, is my art folder, which is nice and stiff and transportable.: P
Oops I lie, i just remember i did some technical graphics in High
School, used one there for a semester too... bored me to tears and
drove me nuts.Same issue with the paper unless I was using the stuff
they used in class in which case it still drove me batty because there
were only so many ways i could tilt the damned thing...
Anyway, good luck with finding one, I think it's a bit odd you cna't
locate any in UK, have you tried www.goolr.com or www.google.co.uk ?
Pretty sure I saw one or two when i was being shown some art stores
when i was visiting there...
