I draw on my lap =p

do you have back problems?

nope, not at all <.<

WELL!! You will! Eventually...

eh maybe, we'll see i suppose :3

I have a drawing space similar as yours atm, it really makes drawing a lot harder for me, even on tablet.

I'm trying to get my hands on a proper drawing board though.

Yeah. My desk is temporary for now. When school starts I probably won't be in this same house.

I do and it's as low as it can go.

lucky! I work at a restaurant. So it's pretty much impossible.

It's better than mine.

I literally draw on my lap all the time. And that includes using my lap as my tablet's sitting place! ^^;

yeah but I'm developing back problems. I'm 19! I shouldn't have to worry about that until I'm supah old!

Eew that does sound uncomfortable =(. I used to draw laying face down on my bed. It's ok until my back starts hurting from the weird curve you get @_@. The only alternative I can suggest is, kitchen/dining room table. But that's probably not preferable....

Drawing adult stuff is kinda hard in the family oriented places in the house. For me, that is. XD I could do it when I'm drawing my normal stuff, but it's still bothersome.

Yeah XD I can relate, that's why I said it's most likely not preferable lol. Not sure how big your room is or what your funds are but, maybe getting one of those small tv dinner tables might help? It's not the best space but at least they come up to a good height. My back is a wreck so I know that the pain is not fun XD.

I have one. But there is a bunch of stuff on it. Stuff i have no other place for. XD I'll try finding someplace for most of it though. At least try to get a good drawing table.

I have that same TV lol.

SO DO I!!! XD It's an okay tv. Only 720p though.

You need to see my set up.

then lets see it

http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/.....armama0013.jpg Is tiny tiny space.

Set keyboard under monitor to draw.

Oh god. That must be so painful! At least it looks somewhat nice.

I've adapted. When I get a scanner/printer iunno what I'm gonna do.

*gives him her other glass desk* :C

if only

id raise the desk up,like put spacers on the feet and raise it to the size you feel best at ^^

gah i remember having a desk like that and it suuuuucked. poke around craigslist, they usually have bunch of free desks if go pick them up, where i found mine and has plenty of room for computer and drawing

This is my setup, but I don't draw...http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3318301/...I make music.

I want this though...http://www.guitarcenter.com/Omnirax.....81-i1173438.gc

Sweet same

This might not fix anything but it's alteast something to help you maybe in the future: Illustrator Ergonomics.

Thanks for that. Sitting up straight will probably be the first thing I work on.

I feel your pain thats how i use to have to draw. my drawing area's evolved from edge of desk to clip board to a bigger drafting board thati use to lay on the bed or my lap and draw with. took maybe 30 40 minutes before my back would hurt like hell. dont draw much anymore though so I've saved my back there. if you dont mind laying down to draw i'd suggest buying a cheap piece of plywood and going with that. if you have any spare room maybe a cheap table from a thrift store but I'm assuming your like I was when i drew alot, no room. wish i could suggest better idea's but other then a poratable piece of wood for quick drawing area's w/o alot of space I just have no other idea's

awesome Space

My mom has the same piece of furniture for her Desktop. Before I got my laptop I would keep my tablet on the sliding slab so it'd be easier for me to draw, but now I have my laptop on my upstairs dresser, I can just slap my tabby below that or use a regular piece of paper, since I have a new scanner :3

& i though my drawing area was chaotic XD

lmao we have the same laptop

Isn't it a sexy laptop though?

Ah, I just thought of something after reading through this! Do you have a wholesale club somewhere in your general vicinity? At such clubs they tend to give away free club sized boxes- I'm pretty sure you could stack 3-4 Tyson chicken boxes(the square ones, not rectangular) on their sides and tape or glue them together. This would make them about high enough to draw on while standing, without all the extra space or cost of a desk, and it probably wouldn't be all that heavy either. After that you'd only need a sturdy clipboard to sit on top. I'm definitely gonna try this myself now that I've figured it out ^U^

Lol, whenvever I'm in school or drawing, I always do it on my lap. I have this thing with desks, lol. XD Don't ask why.

Consider a list of priorities. If you are on a budget and drawing does earn you money, then the purchase of an xbox before a proper desk for drawing was probably not such a good idea.
If drawing doesn't earn you money, you then must decided if it can and then do commissions or sell the xbox and wait for Windows 10 and it will play xbox games and you can just update your laptop with it. It will shrink the desk area down to your laptop and at that point you have more space and also more options for a desk. Last I checked, furniture stores exist...

This was 4 years ago. I'm still using the same desk, but only for my computer. Since then I've gotten a new monitor and desktop, laptop, TV and consoles, and another old desk.

I'm an avid gamer so selling them really isn't a first option for me, or at all really. I keep these desks cause it didn't cost me anything. Cant be any more budget friendly than that.
And I do make my money off commissions. Though I mainly do private stuff as of late.
