<p>With The YARKOR proportional divider you will be able to realize incredibly realistic drawings in no time and with little effort. Learn how to use it in only a few minutes and draw like a mast.</p> <p><b>Easy to use: </b></p> <p><i>Step 1</i></p> <p>Slide the locking clip up and down to adjust the scale, move the green tab towards the middle of the divider to reduce the transfer size. Move the green tab towards the end to enlarge the transfer size.</p> <p><i>Step 2</i></p> <p>Hold the proportional divider with one hand and extend your arm out directly in front of you. Next, put the item you want to draw within view of the small opening of the proportional divider. Adjust the dividers with one hand until the two needle points on the short end accurately reflect the dimensions of the object from your vantage point.</p> <p><i>Step 3</i></p> <p>Bring the proportional dividers back to your drawing paper or canvas and use a pencil to mark the length created by the larger opening of the divider. Since the proportional divider operates on a pivot, the small opening and the large opening are proportional to each other. Thus, even though you measured the object with the small opening, the large opening transfers the measurement to a larger scale.</p> <p><i>Step 4</i></p> <p>Continue measuring objects with the small opening of the proportional dividers and transferring the scaled measurement to the drawing paper. Use these measurements to draw a proportional illustration.</p> <p><b>TIPS:</b></p> <p>Gently place the proportional dividers against the drawing paper or canvass to prevent moving the legs. Even the slightest movement creates inaccuracies in the scale. Always measure objects with a proportional divider with your arm fully extended to keep your measuring method consistent.</p>
