10 Inches Artist Proportional Scale Divider Drawing Tool, Pantograph Drawing Tool Allow Architects and Artists to Transfer Different Measurements onto Paper While Keeping The Same Proportions

Watercolor painting is difficult enough. I paint plein air as often as possible but until I retire I will have to paint from photos - like most artists do - but hesitate to admit. I like to draw everything freehand but I have to lightly sketch everything to make sure it 'fits' before I start painting-and that takes time. This tool allows me to make sure that I have some of the important aspects of the sizes and positioning of the things in the photo correct - right away - which saves so much time. No erasing! You can adjust the tool to different proportions like 1:1.25, 1:1.5, 1:1.75, 1:2, 1:3, etc. (I'm guessing these but you get the picture). This way, depending on the size of the photo, it's accurate with the size of paper you are painting on. My initial paintings with it worked out very well. The price is very reasonabe for the end result. This is a must have for artists - get one!

Works well

Fast shipping. Product as described! Good transaction,

I couldn't find one in any of our Hobby or Art Stores. I was very impressed with the delivery and the quality of the item. Made out of composite materials, it is very light. The I prefer this over the ones made of brass is that I can use them with my tablet or computer, they are not expensive, and I don't risk damaging the screen with a sharp metal device. Thank you very much!

Interesting little gizmo. Not quite 10 inches, but is 25 CM long. Made out of plastic. Quite light with a plastic pin that snaps in to a holder for drawing size adjustment. Comes in its own zip storage pouch along with two extra pins and holders in a tiny storage bag I presume in case one wears out from use. Should work just fine. I like it.

This is a very handy tool for scaling an image. However, if you require precise measurements, perhaps upgrade to the more precision metal versions. This works for me for what I'm currently doing, but just have to accept a bit of wiggle room.

This is my first tool of this type. It's flexible and easy to use for for quick sketch work that precedes painting. I now use it to confirm my "eye" and intuition as to the scale of still life objects before geting in too deep.

This is the first time I am using a proportional divider. Every comment on YouTube said that it would really improve the quality of the work - and so far - I am quite happy. This proportional divider is made of plastic and is not quite 10". I think this is one reason why the scaling is not quite accurate. If you are an artist - it may not make that much of a difference. I wouldn't recommend this project for an architect. Bottom line - If you are interested in seeing if proportional dividers are worth it - get this product and see for yourself. I know I will be investing in a metal one in the future.

Lo usa mi hijo para su clase de dibujo en la carrera de diseño y programación de videojuegos y dice que es muy útil.

Great tool for drawing.

Use with care; seems to be quite flimsy.

Useless rubbish! I want my money back please 🙏. Why can’t I return it? No return option 🤷‍♀️
