After doing a round of back breaking illustration work I decided to construct myself a drawing board. I bought a piece of MDF board for $8, got it cut to size. Nailed a piece of square doweling into the front of the desk then just leaned the board up against this and the wall. Voila! Instant drawing board at a fraction of the cost. So you could say one of my new years resolutions would be to spend more time making comics on my new drawing board.
