Takes the guesswork out of drawing anywhere at any time A most valuable tool at a modest price! Prospek Proportional Divider The Best Keep Secret to Improve Your Drawing, This easy to use tool Proportional Divider lets you transfer subject matter onto your canvas or paper 1/3 to 3X's the size. Simply sight your subject with the upper tips at arm's length and use the bottom points to transfer in perfect proportion. Takes the guesswork out of drawing anywhere at any time. Made of strong plastic, it takes constant use and handling. 10 inches long. Key Features:* Easy to use* Increase, decrease or measure the size of a subject to draw* Adjusted for different sizes* Help keep every aspect of my drawing in exact proportion* Enlarges up to 3 times* Strong Plastic In Mahogany Color Perfect For:* Students, classes, workshops* A simple tool that maintains precise proportions* Getting proportions and perspective correct in a drawing or painting* Still life and landscape paintings to scale up or down to fit canvas size* Get object sizes and spacing right* Faster than gridding an image* Plein air painting to reduce the size of the landscape's main features to a smaller painting size How to Change the Measurements Changing the size of the proportional measurement is easy, just clip it in the correct hole and use the ends to shrink or enlarge the scale. To change the proportions, you pull the little tab back to the side, away from the end that's forked. It comes off easily. Pull the peg off both sides and insert it into another hole - count the same number of holes on both pieces. Push the peg through your selected hole and slide the white plastic holder over it again till it snaps. Make sure that little ridge is sticking up and you can push it till the peg snaps into the far end of the notch. Then it's solid. 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

The tool features adjustable legs that allow you to set the desired scale for your project easily. Its precise points ensure that your measurements will be accurate and consistent. If you're an artist searching for a tool to elevate the accuracy of your compositions, the Proportional Divider is the tool for you! Key Features: * Aluminum proportional divider - 7-3/4" long * Solid steel points * Graduated measurements for lines and circles * Includes a carrying case with secure closure * Easy to transport and store Perfect For: * Accurately capturing proportions and perspective * Enlarging or reducing the size of a reference by hand * Drafting, sketching, and drawing * Portraits, landscapes, and still-lifes * Artists, designers, and architects   How To Use A Proportional Divider: First, choose the scale of your drawing. This means deciding how much smaller or larger you want your drawing to be. You can do this by loosening the dial and sliding the legs up or down to shrink or enlarge the scale. Once you have the scale set, you can measure any object. If you're trying to enlarge a tree in a reference photo, position the tool so that the smaller end of the X is touching the top and bottom of the tree. Then use the wider opposite end of the divider to mark the tree's proportions on your paper. To reduce the size of a large subject, reverse the process. Use the wide end of the tool to measure your object and the smaller end to make your marks on the paper. Once you have the tick marks in place, connect the dots with a freehand line. You can also hold the proportional divider in front of you at arm's length while looking at something you're drawing from life. You'll get relatively accurate proportions as long as the length of your arm is consistent and doesn't change much as you draw. See More

…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… 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!
