U.S. Art Supply 11 x 17 Artist Sketch Tote Board - Great for Classroom, Studio or Field Use

Use it every day.

This one is a little to big for what I wanted I gave this one to my daughter for her art room she loves it for her sketching she set it up on her easel I reordered the 18 x 18 for my use

This had all the potential to be a five start review and would have been....except for a few of things. First was the packaging. There we two items in this package, which is fine, and the other item was okay. The board, in spite of an attempt at a clever support for one end, did not lay flat. That meant that the under side was mostly unsupported. So, when the large air bubbles were placed on top and the package closed it caused pressure on board, which accounted for the slight warping. I think that if I turn it over and keep my drawing box on it, that it should flatten out but time will tell on that one. The second concern is that the large red band has a 1/4 cut in the middle of it. At some point it will expand and snap. That is a QC issue that needs to be looked at. Update: Had to lower the rating as I forgot to mention that the clip is mounted unevenly and leaves gouges in you paper.

I use this mainly for art. Sketches, inking, long figure drawing sessions, quick gesture drawings almost everyday. Roughly a year of heavy use, the red band on this tote board finally snapped. Even though it doesnt have the band anymore, it still serves as a portable drawing surface but less secure for holding my paper down.

pricey for what it is, nice size though

Love this board! Super helpful for my art and easy to tote around.

I bought this for my colored pencil work as this sized board fits perfectly in my art tote. Sturdy, good price.

Exactly what you think it is. Well advertised

Daughter used the product to do assignments on the fly.

Ive been wanting something like this for a while now. Ive been very happy with this. The clip holds very securely and the board is very smooth. I kind of wish the clip was moveable rather than attached so I could place it more conveniently when Im doing the top parts of a painting. In a perfect world, it would have two detachable clips so I could attach one to the side as well. Maybe a later version of this will do that. I wish Amazon allowed half star ratings. The clip thing didnt seem worth deducting a whole star but I would have rated it 4.5 for it if it were an option.
