I have a big one by Dervent. I use it for drawing or painting straight lines, checking angles and proportions. It has blunt ends, so I feel quite safe around it :)

proportional divider is what i know it by- there are metal ones used in mechanical drawing wit a screw to tighten it so it does not slip when transfering measurements they also have scales inscribed to see the proportions also used for live measurements

Could you let me know what proportions are designated for which hole in the tool? Ex: 1st hole near short end is thirds? 3rd hole is half? Thank you! Love your videos.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

The holes closest to the tip are 3X to 1. They progress towards the 1 to 1 ratio in equal increments.

Quite nice tool and can be made at home too

Hi Diane. Could you do a video describing how and when to use mediums for oil painting, as you work from thin to thick? Also, when to use different mediums such as Liquin vs. galkyd, or solvent free gel, etc. thank you!

Using mediums seems to be a confusing topic. I'll put this one on our schedule.

You can go online to Jerry's Artarama and find it. But first, check you local art supply store. Folks living in north Georgia, USA, can find one at Artfull Barn.

should your drawing board be straight or at a 45 degree angle when drawing and using Prospek Divider?

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

4 жыл бұрын

Your drawing board should be at an angle with which you can work comfortably. Ideally, for exact proportion, one would draw on an easel with the subject exactly at the same angle as the easel, but working on a drawing board, with the reference at the angle of the drawing board works.

Great 👍

Man, I've been looking for a proportional divider for some time. Yes, I know I can get them online but I so don't like shopping online. I'm very tactile, online completely removes that aspect of shopping. And my local Hobby Lobby doesn't carry them. But a great tool.

I've never seen this tool before - now I plan to get one - Thanks so much for your help, Dianne! Is there a way this tool can help me make ovals (or faces) that do not look like lopsided eggs? Everything I draw looks like it is slightly leaning to the right. I'm legally blind in one eye, so that's part of the problem. Is there anything that can help with this issue? Thanks again 💖

Ravenzpeak to avoid lopsided images try using a mirror as well it really helps with facial proportions. I also recommend Andrew Loomis as a excellent facial proportions reference. Also Frank Reilly for ref

Once you have sketched the head, turn your drawing upside down. That can help you to see if it's lop sided.
