Drawing Board
A drawing board is a flat, portable surface. Paper is placed on the board and held in position using small pieces of masking tape, carefully cut. These small pieces of masking tape secure the paper to the board.

Artists, architects, engineers and designers, use this paper on the board to design and communicate ideas.
A good, light, inexpensive drawing board can be made from one eighth inch thick material, called Masonite also known as hardboard.

The surface of hardboard can be cleaned with a dry cloth but should never be washed. Washing will, over time, decay the hardness and smoothness of the drawing surface.
