Drawing board recommendations?

[matt]

I seem to recall there are one or two paper and pencil designers on here... I'm considering investing in a small drawing board (A2, A3...). Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced good quality board?

Have a look at the "trueline" ones here they use cross wires so don't take up too much space and can be used flat.

Thanks, Jason. They look like the sort of thing I'm after. I noticed some called Challenge on the site too which I assume are not as good but it's not clear what the difference is. I've dropped a line to the company to find out.

Thanks again.

The challenge have a rack & pinion to keep the blade parallel but theu can jump a tooth. Also I don't think you can raise the blade of the table it working on thicker materials like you can with the trueline.
