Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’ve been wanting a desk easel for a while, pretty much ever since I realised I was aggravating my back issues from slouching when I draw. Once I got it, I wanted to try starting a watercolor painting of Espeon (from Pokemon) from start to finish to see how it’d turn out. Verdict: This desk easel is pretty good for the price, but it’s not 100% perfect. It’s GREAT to sketch on, since the surface is more like a drawing board than an easel, and it fits both my 8.5 x 5.5 inch and my 12 x 9 inch sketchbooks perfectly. (I draw pretty small, heh…) I’m not super crazy about inking on it, BUT that might be something I’ll have to get used to with more practice. It is terrible for watercolors. Since there are only 4 notches you can use to adjust it, the angle is still fairly high and the paint drips downwards. I am very tempted to try to cut a fifth notch, but I’m terrified of cutting my fingers off… The drawer underneath is okay. It fits pens fairly well, but it’s not very deep so don’t expect to put anything particularly thick in there. (My watercolor set is only 1.125 inches high, and it is too tall to fit in the drawer.) The best part is that my back doesn’t hurt at all, yay!
