Make sure you mount the clipboard flush to one side of the lightboard to leave some space on the opposite side for the pegbar. A cheap clear clipboard from the interwebs or any office supply store (~$7)ДЇirst, I tape my clipboard to the lightboard lengthwise, with two long strips of clear packing tape.A plastic or metal pegbar (round or ACME pattern - Lightfoot, Blick, LOONENG, MyLifeUnit, etc.) (~$8).These are sold under various brand names (Huion, AGPtek, etc.), and are sometimes labeled as вЂњtracing boardsвЂќ or вЂњtattoo led boardsвЂќ but in my experience theyвЂ™re basically all the same! (~$20 - when I made my graphic they were $25, but recently prices have come down a bit!). One of those ubiquitous A3-size LED lightboards, found easily on eBay, Amazon, etc.But theyвЂ™re a lot more affordable than art store options, and I love the mobility they give you vs. IвЂ™m currently about a year in to my second lightboard. The first lightboard I bought lasted about 2 years before it failed. The x-factor is the build quality of the lightboard. ItвЂ™s much cheaper than buying an Artograph-type light box (tough to find new for under $100!), and way more portable, since you wonвЂ™t need a power outlet for it to work.ДЄ quick note on longevity: IвЂ™ve made this setup twice. Several animators I know use variations on it. I first learned about this setup from friends in a drink-and-draw group at RudyardвЂ™s in Houston.
