A very quick project to build a mobile surface for airbrush and freehand drawing. The slate is adjustable at any position, thanks to the ball joint of the support; moreover it's magnetic, so you can quickly set masks, reference images, etc. with magnets.
The work surface is a common magnetic board, size is A3, for a cost of about 9 Euro.
The articulated support is an excellent Stanley ball joint vise, solid as a rock, made entirely of steel, for a street price of about 27 Euro at any hardware store.
The clamp supports a simple wood frame, which in turn is fixed with threads to the magnetic tablet, through the four holes already present at the corners. The "central rail" also allows for lateral (or vertical, depending on the ball joint position) displacement. Comfortable, and very solid!
Total cost: about 40 Euros, for about half an hour of minimal DIY.
Hope it can be of any interest for you, if you're looking for a compact drawing surface but have no room for a classic table.
Some pictures, and a video to see the thing at work:
