The world is full of electronic devices, but few battery-free, old-school tools are worth adding to your artist toolbox. The Proportion Wheel is one such item. From scaling up thumbnails, to determining the proportions of a subject at a smaller size, or adding bar scales to a scientific illustration, using a proportion wheel can be a significant time saver. Start by making your own proportion wheel. Demos and hands-on exercises help you to learn the numerous ways this tool can be used. A final challenge will reinforce your new skills. You’ll be amazed at how you lasted so long without this amazing tool!
