This adjustable 8-inch arc triangle is used frequently by architects, engineers and designers for rendering drawings and the interior layouts of buildings. Its aluminum hinge and adjustable point screw let you adjust the triangle to the ideal angle needed. Because it is clear plastic, it never obstructs important parts of the drawing beneath it. In our ultimate hand lettering guide we talk about some fundamental elements about lettering, such as the importance of balance, consistency etc. Machinists, designers, engineers and architects as well as home DIY enthusiasts often use these small, convenient measuring tools when a larger or more complex measuring device is not needed. They are also helpful to anyone who is making a hand-drawn chart or graph. This ruler is typically metal and can be slid across surfaces for placement easily. Hook Ruler

The kneaded eraser Nonetheless, with both lettering and calligraphy, the pencil is mostly used for light sketching and light guidelines that the kneaded eraser can easily erase. 5. The rolling ruler

Copperplate calligraphy is performed with a pointed nib. Therefore we cannot use the same approach as we do with broad-edged scripts. Instead, a general rule of thumb is the use of a 3:2:3 ratio. The letters are also slanted at a 55 degree angle. Italic calligraphy is also at a five nib width for the minuscule letters and a seven nib width for the capitals. However, the ascenders and descenders extend for a total of 10 nib widths.Protractors are used for calculating angles in the fields of geometry, mechanics and architectural rendering. There are also two-sided protractors with multiple angle divisions for making detailed angle measurements. Interior design layouts are often completed with the use of protractors to ensure accurate angle calculations for interior spaces, furnishings and decorative items. Set Square Ruler As a total beginner it’s quite difficult to be aware of all of these things, and it’s something that naturally develops with time and lots of practice. Modern/brush calligraphy is more open to personal interpretation.

The only downside is that you are only working with a baseline, so I think this could only be suitable for more experienced calligraphers. This rolling ruler can accomplish the tasks usually done by both a compass and a protractor. This unique tool is used in many areas of design and engineering today. Shrink Ruler You could just take a clean photo (with good lighting) of your artwork and then transfer it to your computer, however, it won’t yield as good as a result if you were to use a good quality scanner. This triangular engineer’s scale can be used for rendering blueprints and other types of structural drawings and illustrations. It is also in popular use by drafting students, interior designers and 3D graphics experts. The numbers and markings on its measuring scale surfaces are accurate and non-fading to ensure continuous professional use over time.Here I used a 3:1:3 ratio, meaning that the ascenders and descenders are three times bigger than the space between the baseline and the waistline (a.k.a. The x-height). Well, although there might be some truth in that claim you definitely want to avoid having a messy desk and instead keep your art supplies organized. Here is the one that i use, and it definitely helped taking better and clearer pictures – whether it’s for taking photos/videos for tutorials or for some personal projects. 9. Scanner The high illuminated surface allows you to spot every single detail of your artwork, and thus giving you the opportunity to further improve it.
