If you don't want to shell out the money for a
professional drawing table, you can buy lap desks at
most art supply stores. These are basically a flat
board on top of padding that fits very comfortably on
your lap. All you need to do is attach some clips to
it, and you've got a satisfactory, portable drawing
board for under thirty bucks!
