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

The size is right the drawing area is well calculated the rubber band is a must and it has it the clip is good and strong and easy to use the board is very sturdy as it should be the handle is placed in a good place with plenty of room left for the artwork. Good handy board for those times when you are using smaller paper and you dont want to lag or use the standard size board. Great companion board to your main standard size one.

Good board, but not as described. It is not 1 inch thick, but rather 1/8 inch thick, I thought 1 inch was too thick. it is rigid Masonite, or some such material, I am a happy camper.

Great size

Very versatile board. Can hold a reference image on one side and a sketch sheet on the other without crowding each other. The tight rubber band on the lower area of the board helps keep the sketch sheet in place. This can easily be placed on a desk, a slanted board, or your lap.

Works well, but I am still experimenting.

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.

Nice board, clips are easy to use and secure, and the entire thing is light enough to carry with you to different locations and place on your lap comfortably.

I use it for watercolor and when it gets wet it frays and swells a little. Other than that, I love it.

strong and sturdy - large enough to do most projects

Thickness is perfect , my kids are using this and is good .
