Here is a simple and inexpensive way to get up and running in your studio space with a few simple tools and cheap parts...3/4" PVC pipe, 2 hinges, a few feet of thin chain and some scrap lumber.
The pics are self explanatory. I'm sure you can do work-a-rounds for the hardware and use what ever works for you..
This drawing table can accommodate larger drawing pads, canvases, your picture reference, whatever and is very adjustable re: work angle.
You can fold this unit up and store it in a tight space and best of all it is cheap to make.
IKEA sells a table top (AMON) in white for under $6 and legs for about $15... You can buy one or two tops if you want a self supported separate table.

| Make
sure that you dry fit the PVC first to get it square...I suggest that
you leave it dry for while as you may want to change a few things..The
legs as shown are about 10" (not including the elbows or rubber tips) |
|
| You can vary the dimensions to suit whatever you are able to come up with re: your current workspace table | | | | | | | | |

The tops are apparently made in a mold with wood stiffeners in each corner to screw the legs into...you need to stay in this reinforced areas for your hinge attachment or your screws will pull out. You can paint the underside of your board and wood base if you find the bare wood unsightly..
