ABSTRACT:
An animated drawing board includes a series of stacked sheets arranged in a common frame. The front sheet is a transparent panel having an erasable front surface. An opaque sheet having at least one aperture positioned in a predetermined position such as two apertures positioned at the location of the eyes of the figure to be drawn is disposed behind the transparent panel. A support sheet having a track guide aperture disposed behind the aperture is positioned behind the opaque sheet. A set of plates slightly larger than the track opening in the support sheet can be adhered to a track member slidingly received in the track guide aperture to form a slidable mount for a band of opaque material containing a feature of the figure such as an eyeball. A rear lever positioned to one side of the frame is attached to the rear plate of the slidable mount. After the user draws a facial figure, the user manually actuates the lever with his non-drawing hand to move the eyeballs on the band in front of the aperture to give the appearance of live animation. One or more resilient members can be provided for biasing one or both of the pupil bearing band and/or the mouth bearing band to a desired preset position.
