The MoKo tablet stand is a small and affordable iPad stand for artists. It’s lightweight and versatile and can prop up phones and tablets. Made from ABS plastic, it offers a sturdy base for sketching projects.
This MoKo tablet stand is easily adjustable and supports up to three angles. The silicone feet at the base prevent the stand from slipping and sliding, while the stops at the front prevent the tablet from skidding. However, fitting the tablet can be challenging if you have a thick cover on your iPad Pro.

One of the strengths of the Frunsi tablet stand is that it can take your wrist pressure without buckling down or sliding under. Despite its size (and shape), it’s a lightweight stand. It also lets users prop the tablet at nine different angles.
More importantly, it’s lightweight, and the non-slip pads at the bottom add to its dependability. It’s also quite easy to store and can be folded when you want to stow it away. It’s big enough to accommodate the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the company even bundles a built-in phone holder.

If you are looking for a sturdy metallic stand for your iPad and iPad Pro for drawing, you can trust the Yangkelly Aluminum Foldable Tablet Stand to get the work done. The sturdy build and the foldable design are two of the major highlights.
The sturdy build means you can easily put pressure on the stand without it sagging under your wrist’s pressure, which is a huge plus. You can prop it up at various angles, which is another plus. Plus, the nifty design means you can pack it with your iPad. The only catch is that this stand is a little heavy. But it makes up for it with its solid build.

If you want a metal stand for your iPad Pro, you can look at the Parblo PR 110. Like its counterpart above, it also folds flat, making it easy to carry. It’s lightweight and weighs around 1.26 pounds. In addition, it has a wide holder at the bottom, ensuring that the tablet doesn’t slip away when you sketch.
Though the PR 110 is sturdy and has a sturdy base, it articulates only at four angles between 25 degrees and 40 degrees. The former gives you a lift of around eight cm, which should suffice for drawing. Regardless, it’s not as flexible as some other options on this list. On the upside, it packs all the essential features, such as non-slip pads at the base and the top.

If you do not care much about the stand’s looks, the Elecom is your best bet. It’s a simple metal stand that doubles as a nifty iPad stand for artists. It can be propped at four different angles, which can be a tad limiting. That said, it doesn’t slip or slide and can handle its share of pressure.
The good thing is that the holder at the bottom is not a singular piece of metal or ABS plastic. Instead, two holders are on either side, giving you ample wriggle room to draw freely. At the same time, the holders are just big enough to hold the tablet but do not jut out unnecessarily. And yes, it’s portable and foldable.

The ElevationLab DraftTable V2 is one of the most popular iPad holders for digital art enthusiasts. It’s heavy, akin to a true drafting table and does a good job of anchoring your iPad Pro or iPad.
Of course, the stand’s heft means it can be inconvenient to carry around.That said, you can affix it in four different angles. It also lets you use your iPad in horizontal or vertical orientation. However, you must be careful when drawing on the upper portion when the iPad is in the vertical position as it might tip. The full kit bundles an Apple Pencil holder and a wrist pad as well, which is excellent.

Sketchboard Pro

The SKETCHBOARD PRO is one of the more expensive iPad drawings on our list. Unlike the ones above, this is only meant for iPad Pro. It has a cavity at the center, and the iPad Pro sits flush against it. You can also wind the charging cable through a slit at the back. At the same time, it comes with a nifty cut to stow the Apple Pencil when not in use.
There are a couple of legs at the back, which you can use to prop up your iPad in landscape and portrait mode. While the number of available angles for positioning your iPad is quite limited, it’s best to say that the default angles are comfortable to sketch. There’s a slight catch, though. This iPad stand for drawing is heavy. While the heavy design minimizes wobbles and shakes (super sturdy), it limits this iPad stand to home usage.
