A convenient and well-organized working space is always essential for people of every profession, with no exceptions.

Artists usually work in a sitting position a lot, which is a common cause of various health problems. People who don’t pay attention to how they work can suffer from their eyesight getting worse, pains in their back and hands or even more severe cases.

Also, organizing your working place in the most convenient way possible will optimize your drawing process a lot – make it easier, faster and cleaner. It will also help you get the right angle when you are drawing and will allow you to use your hands freely.

You may adapt regular desks, computer tables, kitchen tables, your own lap and other surfaces for that purpose. However, there is nothing more convenient than working tables designed specifically for artists.

People who design them have considered all of the special professional requirements and needs of artists. They’ve done everything to provide you with the most comfortable drawing experience you’ve ever had!

That’s why we prepared a list of some models of best drawing tables for you to consider:

14 Best Drawing Tables For Artists

Studio Designs 10053 Vision Craft Station

If you are afraid that this kind of surface is too slippery, do not worry. The 23.75 inches wide tray that is located at the front of the table will be a perfect and safe holder for your pens, pencils, markers or any other supplies and will prevent them from falling off the table when the surface is tilted.

The table also features removable trays for art supplies at the sides of its tabletop. Their removability makes them easy to clean and arrange based on your personal preferences.

The three slide-out storage drawers can be placed either on the left or on the right side for your ideal comfort. And if you don’t like the wheels this table has, you can easily replace them with rubber floor levelers to achieve maximum steadiness.

Standing desks might give you a useful boost in your concentration, and are even believed to be healthier than the sitting ones (or at least it can give a nice refreshing pause to let your back rest and change the position for some time).

All the adjustments can be easily made with oversized thumb screws, and you won’t need any instrument for that.

This table is pretty light but steady and durable: it’s made of steel and birch tree and has four rubber feet that it comfortably stands on.
