…of the original reference must be preserved. You don't need to understand the mathematics behind proportions in order to use this ingenious tool: simply set the initial scale and let the Proportioner do the rest! Consisting of 2 indicators, one for the reference object and one for the transferred… Resize images quickly and accurately — no math involved! For centuries artists have been developing ways to correctly enlarge, reduce, and transfer images without destroying the proportions between them. From complicated camera-like apparatuses to simpler grids and caliper-like instruments, getting accurate measurements and proportions has always been a true artistic concern. The Acurit Proportioner is designed to do just that: use it to correctly transfer proportions between an object and your drawing, without ever having to pick up a calculator!The Proportioner does all the math for you with just a turn of the knob! PERFECT FOR DRAWING REFERENCE PHOTOS OR REAL LIFE IMAGES PRECISELY TO SCALE The Acurit Proportioner can be used to ensure facial features in a portrait are in correct relation to one another; to judge the heights of buildings as opposed to the trees next to them; to enlarge technical drawings or reduce illustrations — anything in which the scale of the original reference must be preserved. You don't need to understand the mathematics behind proportions in order to use this ingenious tool: simply set the initial scale and let the Proportioner do the rest! Consisting of 2 indicators, one for the reference object and one for the transferred image, the Proportioner can be easily set to any proportion ratio by rotating the knob (without depressing) until the reference indicators line up with two fixed points — say, the eyes in a portrait image. Then depress and rotate the knob again to set the distance between the transfer indicators — how far apart you’d like the eyes to be in your drawing. The Proportioner will store this set proportion ratio for you, allowing you to easily transfer further points — nose, mouth, and so on in our portrait example — while retaining the exact scale! Sturdier than a pantograph, more accurate than a grid, the Proportioner is also the perfect tool for the plein air artist! Unlike bulky opaque projectors that require electricity and darkness to operate correctly, the Acurit Proportioner can be taken out of the studio and into the field for any artwork drawn from life! So stop the guesswork, freehand drawing, and using clunky equipment: ensure all your artwork proportions are exactly to scale with the new Acurit Proportioner! * See Video Tab for more details * Quickly resize images without sacrificing correct proportions * Keep transferred images precisely to scale * No math required — the Proportioner does it all! * Easily set initial scale by rotating knob to set indicators * Proportion ratio is stored so further points can be transferred * Great for working in the field! * Perfect for drawing from reference photos and real life alike! * Indispensable tool for any artist, designer, illustrator or draftsman!

It is an amazing tool!" - Igido (Artist) The Proportional Divider is not your average perspective tool! It is perfect for artists who frequently paint or draw from a reference that requires size reduction or enlargement. Due to its convenient, small size of 7-3/4", the Divider is an excellent tool for en plein air and artists on the go. Architects and drafters can also benefit from using the Proportional Divider - even when drafting fractional lengths by hand! This career-defining tool is made in Germany and includes a protective carrying case. If you're an artist searching for a tool to elevate your portraits, landscapes, and other artistic subjects to perfect accuracy, the Proportional Divider is the tool for you! Key Features:* Crafted from durable aluminum* Features incredible accurate measurements on a sliding scale* Increase, decrease or measure the size of a subject to draw* Includes a carrying case with secure closure* Portable size - 7 3/4" long* Graduated for lines and circles* Made in Germany Perfect For:* Getting proportions and perspective correct in a drawing or painting* Portraits, landscapes, and still-lifes* Enlarging or reducing the size of a reference by hand* Artists of all skill levels, architects and drafters* Perspective accuracy perfection!* En plein air and artists on the go! How to Change the Measurements Changing the size of the proportional measurement is easy, just loosen dial and slide up and down to shrink or enlarge the scale. To change the proportions, you need to loosen the dial It loosenseasily. Once you have in disired position for your sizing, tighten the dial. If you want to enlarge a small reference, move the legs till the small end of the X shaped tool is just touching the dimension you want to measure - say, the width of a head. Adjust it while it's on the reference. You can also do the same thing at arm's length holding it in front of you to look at a live model or static object you're drawing from life - as long as you don't move, the length of your arm is consistent and you'll get accurate relative proportions. Without moving the legs, turn the X shaped Prospek so that the wide end is on your paper. Make tick marks where the points fall. This also lets you place your reference on the page easier - the proportion remains consistent wherever you put the wide end of the Prospek so you can decide to move the head farther from the edge of the paper or make it off center easier. The legs move easily and stay at the same proportion once moved unless you move them again. Friction holds them firmly in place no matter how many times I use this little handy tool. If you want to reduce a large subject, just reverse the process. Use the wide end of the tool to measure your object and the smaller end to make your tick marks on the paper. Once you have the tick marks in place, connect the dots with a freehand line. See More

Great masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer used the grid method to do this; often rigging up complicated equipment and devices designed to superimpose a grid over their subject matter. Now you can bring this art theory to your own creation process with the modern equivalent of those ancient tools: Proportional Compose It Grids! These transparent acrylic grids are available in 9 different proportions which are translatable to nearly any canvas size. Simply choose your grid proportion in relation to your canvas, hold the grid up to your subject, and sketch directly on the grid with a dry erase marker (sold separately) to rough in your composition. It is then a simple matter to transfer the grid and the image directly onto your canvas with charcoal or chalk; all the while keeping the correct proportions of the original subject.
