Proportional Divider Artist Drawing Tool, 10" Scale Divider for Artists, Drawing Students, Architects, Designers with Protective Leather Sleeve, Pantograph Drawing Tool - Art Supplies & Drafting Tools

What a great find! I found this proportional divider tool by accident while I was watching YouTube videos looking for ways to improve getting my proportions right while painting. I've always checked my model dimensions and compared it with my painting dimensions by using a ruler. Either using centimeters or inches depending on how small or large my subject. I usually convert my picture reference to a painting on a 1:3 scale, using a ruler and counting the segments and multiplying by 3. This was so tedious, especially since after starting to add detail to my painting, I have a tendency to lose sight of my proportions and one ear will be bigger than the other, etc. So, I have to start over and remeasure. This is a problem with painting. So easy to get off scale when you are concentrating on getting the detail correct. I saw this video talking about a proportional divider tool for artists, and the presenter showed how easy it was to use and said that you could find it on Amazon, so I immediately went to Amazon and ordered the tool. It is sooooooooooo easy to use and I no longer have to use a ruler, making sure the ruler doesn't mess up my paint while I measure. I can check and recheck my proportions often in a matter of seconds and I don't have to use math. This ability to check often and so easily ensures that my painting proportions are correct, and I haven't inadvertently changed them. The case that comes with this divider is really snug. I'm hoping that it stretches a bit over time. It comes with extra clips, which is good because if you lose a clip, you'll have another one. This clip is an important part of this tool. The box has a map of the holes as to which one to use depending on the scale you want, so you want to be sure to keep this box for reference. I keep all of these items together in a clear plastic pouch. It would be nice if this would have come with a case that would hold everything as opposed to a case for the divider only. All in all, this divider is a great tool that I recommend for anyone who is interested in improving their painting skill.

This tool has helped me a lot to make my drawings the correct proportion. I can take any smaller photo or newspaper photo and make it smaller or larger. Sometimes you just do not catch that something is out of proportion until you have gotten far into the drawing. This tool helps you start the drawing with precision. And I use it through the whole process to make sure I am on track after changes. Such a simple, inexpensive tool that works wonders.

I have a VERY nice German-made metal proportional divider with extremely sharp points. I use it to check proportions on my computer or iPad screen against what I'm drawing on paper. I was worried about scratching my screen with the metal one so I bought this plastic one. It works great and won't scratch my computer screen. When measuring longer distances the plastic bends a little bit (because, hey, it's plastic) but I use it mostly for measuring one or two inches so I use the short end that doesn't bend. It doesn't lock so you have to be careful that you keep the angle but I've found it works very well if you stay focused. I'm glad I purchased this.

I’ve been an artist for over 50 Years, great item to easily get correct drawings. I recommend it to all of my students.

This Proportional Divider Artist Drawing Tool is great. It helps you keep proportions correctly. If you have a photo that you want to draw or paint, and say you want to make it a little bigger; you will measure with the small side and then flip it over to the larger side and have everything in perfect proportion. You can also make it smaller than the original. Easy to use.

The proportional divider works well enough. I am able to enlarge or reduce drawings with reasonable accuracy. The 3 rating is due to its overall flimsy feel in the hand and lack of a way to tighten it sufficiently so that it will not change proportions. It can be done, but it requires easy handling. I expect it is worth the money considering how expensive sturdier appearing models are. I recommend it if it is all you wanted to spend.

Great reviews and works great for measuring proportions for artist.

For the price these are great. If this was a tool I used frequently I would be unhappy that they are stiff when trying to set a small radius. I will use them only a few times a year to lay out archery targets - and because they work so well for that I bought another one in a different size.

En leksak, inget för den som vill ha en väl fungerande måttdon till ritandet/tecknandet. Inte ens för nybörjare.👎

Prima. Voldoet aan de verwachtiging. Zeer gemakkelijk in gebruik

Ausilio utilissimo e consigliato per il disegno. Permette velocemente di riportare le corrette proporzioni del modello di referenza, dividendo o moltiplicando le distanze, soprattutto nella fase di preparazione del disegno, come ad esempio lo schema base, le altezze, le larghezze e le distanze reciproche. Molto leggera questa versione in plastica e abbastanza precisa grazie ai puntali sottili. Rapido il sistema di sgancio del perno centrale per poter cambiare il rapporto di riduzione o ingrandimento. Non è però paragonabile alla precisione delle versioni usate in ambito nautico e cartografia, che sono invece in metallo. Consiglio di conservare la confezione in cui sono riportati i rapporti di moltiplicazione, non presenti sull'oggetto. Spedizione Amazon veloce e puntuale.
