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

Likes: Ratio does not change once pin is inserted, sharpish points, very light and easy to handle, easy to adjust ratio.Dislikes: Only fixed ratios available, arms not rigid enough (first one I bought had misaligned points at one end, tried to bend into shape and just snapped - only plastic after all but I still bought another one for the price), arms not quite tight enough so can move slightly between photo and painting even with only slight pressure.

I own a brass one which is heavy and although nice to look at, a bit cumbersome to use. So I bought a plastic one which will lighten the load of my mobile art kit. I haven't got round to using mine yet but as a beginner painter it should be a great help for portraits. I bought one with a cover to protect it but in honesty did really struggle to get it out first time. I’m hoping it will loosen up with use otherwise it will have been an unnecessary extra cost. Mine arrived straight, not bent like some others. Looking forward to using it.

I like to use things for a while before I write a review, but this clever little piece of plastic has become part of my art kit in just a few days. I'm relatively new to art, and I used to find myself rubbing out as much as actually drawing. But this divider has really changed all that. Whether I'm drawing to real size, or to scale, it takes seconds to check I've got the main parts of my drawing in the correct position before adding the detail.Scaling my work is now ridiculously easy - no more getting the calculator out (yes, I'm a perfectionist !). Do keep hold of the box though as there's a diagram on it that shows you how the holes in the divider relate to the relative scales.One last thing that's good about this being made of smooth plastic - it doesn't scratch your screen. So, if you're working off an image on your tablet, etc. you can place the divider points on the screen without a care in the world.

Bought for husband for his painting, just what he needed.

Desperately disappointed. Yes it’s a great tool if you don’t have to use all the steadiness in the world to get from a to b just to maybe get a near enough measurement and repeat and repeat and repeat. It’s shoddy cheap and flimsy… no tightness… just… Why… ???Why oh why in this day and age… 🙈🙈🙈 does design have to be sooooo rubbish…. It’s like a joke.I hear you say “ design one yourself “Well I wouldn’t be writing a review if I was the designer…PLUS…. I did not recieve the tube for it go in… PLUS I did send a message and no response !!! You give up in the end ( I don’t normally ) but in this occasion I did… Because the tube container wasn’t going to make the tool work any better. !!!!So on this occasion …. Make one yourself 🤣

It seems like a promising handy tool but the tips on one end don’t align. See photos.

The media could not be loaded. It's small, but very practice tool for measuring and making proportions right on every object!It comes with a nice case, so you can easily carry it wherever you go! :)

This met my expectations and was just what I was looking for. Handy to have a case to keep it in. I would recommend this if looking for a good budget proportional divider.
