A portable drawing apparatus configured to act as an easel and/or desk includes a pair of upper support members (112) each pivotally connected to a respective lower support member (102), and also each pivotally connected to a respective rear support member (104). In an operational configuration, the rear support members can project rearwardly in a plane substantially normal to a plane defined by two mutually parallel upper support members. A lower cross frame (212) and upper cross frame (214) are each connected to respective lower support members, and upper support members, and each further connected to the non-removable portion. A hinged lateral member (216), when configured in a locked position, defines the apparatus width. In a collapsed configuration, the distal portions of the upper and lower support members are configured to point in the same direction and form a bundle whose length is substantially less than that of the apparatus length in operational configuration. |
