Art Resource #1?

Hello everyone,
  This entry will discuss what you may want to use when you want more control with your art work. Do you want to draw with control, but you can't quite get the angle you want? Are you tired of drawing on a flat surface? Do you have to stand when you draw, or paint? Is that paint of your just dripping away, going beyond the borders you created? Well, one suggestion I have for you is to purchase a drafting table. One in particular, the Studio Design Folding Craft Station is a wonderful drafting table (or for crafts!). They're wonderful to have if you want to have more control with your drawing or painting. You can change the angle of the surface, or if you get one with a glass finish, you can use a light source underneath the drafting table to trace (or if you need your lighting in a different position)! This drafting table series does come with 4 hard plastic trays (to store paint brushes, pencils, cups, etc.), which slides to the side of the drafting table (clips) and is nice to have when you want to have your supplies close by. This drafting table does fold out/up; however, they can be difficult to fold out/up. If you decide to purchase this drafting table, and you need to occasionally put it away, get a set of Velcro's Velstraps, because the metal legs (when folded in) will not stay in position. Also, since the drafting table can change the surface angle, the bracket sticks out around 6 inches (once the table is folded out), which may cause some problems if you're trying to store it in a tight spot (but you can disassemble the bracket!). And finally, if you are a tall person (from the reviews I read, around 6 feet and above), this drafting table might be uncomfortable for you; unfortunately, this drafting table doesn't adjust in height (from the floor to the bottom of the metal frame, it's about 2 feet 4 inches). If you're on a tight budget, and you want to have a wonderful drafting table, this series is for you! If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. I hope this was helpful!:
