Abstract:
1. A right perspective drawing tool for drawing straight lines that radiate from a single point to allow an illustrator, architect, or artist to render a perfect perspective drawing, said tool comprising: a tape measure including a housing having two side walls, a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall and a back wall, and a coiled measuring tape enclosed in the housing, said tape having a tip with an end flange that prevents the tip from entering into the housing, said housing including a locking mechanism on the front wall that allows the tape to be extended to the desired length and locked in position, and said tape measure further including a round hole extending through the bottom wall of said housing; a suction cup having a concave base, a neck, and a domed top wherein said domed top has a larger diameter than a diameter of the neck, wherein said domed top fits through the round hole and secures the suction cup to the tape measure and said neck is sized to accommodate the round hole such that the tape measure can freely swivel 360 degrees around said suction cup, and said tool being adapted so that downward pressure applied to the suction cup secures the tool over a single point on a flat surface while allowing the tape measure to freely swivel through said 360 degrees with said measuring tape forming a straightedge for drawing straight lines that radiate from the single point.
