Proportional Divider Artist Drawing Tool for Artists by Pixiss Professional Compass Caliper Scale Divider Drawing Supplies, Drafting Tools, Projector or Camera Lucida Alternative

I OVERALL THINK THAT I GOT WHAT I PAID FOR. IT'S NOT AS STURDY AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE, BUT IT DOES THE JOB. I WENT TO YOU TUBE TO GET IN DEPTH DIRECTIONS FOR USE. ITS A GREAT TOOL FOR BEGINNERS. MORE ADVANCED ARTIST MAY APPRECIATE BETTER QUALITY

Works well! The little purple plastic adjuster is a big help. It’s very reliable when designing for projects or if you’re trying to edit proportions on a drawing or sketch for enlarging or shrinking. Either way accuracy isn’t too bad. For $10 it’s not that bad of a price. You get what you pay for.

You have to be careful not to break the tips or it is no longer useful. It is a useful tool but it's just basically two plastic sticks so it is pricey. But I haven't seen anything on the market nearly as cheap . It's a neat tool for drawing.

While it serves its basic purposeThe Good:Decent scaling accuracy: Works adequately for basic proportion transfer in drawings and sketchesSturdy frame: The main metal body holds up reasonably well under normal useClear markings: Easy to set up desired ratios thanks to visible measurement indicatorsThe Flaws:Fragile tips: The precision points bend and wear out surprisingly quickly with regular useSlippage issues: The adjustment mechanism loosens during work, requiring constant readjustmentPoor longevity: Loses functionality after just a few months of moderate use

It is lightweight plastic but feels sturdy enough. For the money I feel like it was a great deal. It is exactly what I expected. Functional and easy to use. I did not expect a high quality name brand tool That would last forever for this low price so was very satisfied with the product.

Cheap, low grade materials and not useful

These dividers have propelled me to the next level with my art! I can now do a scaled up drawing from a photograph, have a master drawing and transfer with tracing paper to my watercolor (or whatever) page so I can repetitively try different color arrangements.The only thing I needed to fix with the dividers is that they don't positively lock in place and can slip while transferring measurements. I replaced the plastic slip pin with a locking thumb screw with is more positive for locking the dividers. They aren't precision instruments but are good enough for drawings.

This is great for drawing or sketching accurate proportions. I found it easy to adjust and use. I read some reviews that made me think this would be flimsy, but this is awesome for an artist. I guess if you want to do drafting, you should spend the money for the expensive metal version. A key for me was knowing how to "use and adjust" this proportional divider. It is important for users to understand every drawing, sketch, or painting you may have to make several adjustments to achieve proper sizing of your subject/object. Perfect for portraits or landscapes, this will be a great addition for any skill set. Artist unite! USE your proportional divider.
