If you order some kind of 24 x 18 paper pad from Amazon I found that the box they ship it in can be really easily turned into a shadow box for cast drawing etc. (I had enough black felt hanging around from an old halloween costume to line it). Just separate the box at the seam and cut a couple of notches for binder clips to hold its form. Attach some black felt and you're good to go! Getting ready to start my first 'real' cast drawing... I'll post progress.
