Basic Techniques of Handling Drawing Instruments and Materials
We need to take care of our drawing instruments and materials in order to prolong their service life.
- Always practice handling and using draft or drawing instruments before attempting complex drawing problem.
- Arrange the drafting equipment in a way that allows you work comfortably.
- The best light for drafting is natural light coming over the left shoulder and from the front to avoid shadows cast by the hand and other equipment.
- Do not fold tracing paper. The crease marks will damage the lines on the drawing and cause blurred prints when the drawing is reproduced.
