DRAFTING
MATERIALS
AND TOOLS
• DRAWIN PAPER
• VARIOUS TYPES OF
DRAWING PAPERS ARE
AVAILLABLE FOR USE
BUT HARD AND SOFT
SURFACE DRAWING
PAPERS ARE HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED. THIS
TYPE OF PAPER DOES
NOT EASILY TO GROOVE
WHEN PRESSURE ARE
APPLIED.
MASKING
TAPE
• USED FOR FASTENING THE
DRAWING PAPE ON THE
DRAWING TABLE OR DRAWING
BOARD BECAUSE IT DOES NOT
DAMAGE THE BOARD AND IT
WILL NOT DAMAGE THE PAPER IF
ITS IS REMOVED BY PULLING IT
OFF
PENCIL
SHARPENER
• PENCILS SHOULD BE
SHARPENED WHEREVER THEY
SHOW SIGN OF DULLNESS.
VARIOUS TYPE OF DESIGN ARE
AVAILABLE IN THE STORE FOR
USE
ERASER
• THIS IS USED TO CLEAN THE DIRT
OFF THE DRAWING. SOFT ERASER
IS ADVANTAGEOUS IN REMOVING
SMUDGES AND PENCIL MARKS.
WHEREAS A HARDER ERASER IS
USEFUL FOR MAKING CHANGES
AND CORRECTING ERRORS IN THE
DRAWING
DRAWING PENCIL- ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT TOOLS IN DRAWING COMES IN
VARIOUS GRADES. THE GRADE OF PENCIL TO • HARD PENCIL- ARE USED
BE USED DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF THE WHERE EXTREME
PAPER TO BE USED ACCURACY IS REQUIRED
• MEDIUM PENCIL- ARE
USED FOR GENERAL
PURPOSE WORK IN
DRAWING
• SOFT PENCIL- ARE TOO
SOFT TO BE USED IN
MECHANICAL DRARITN
THEY ARE ERY USEFUL
FOR ART WORK OF
VARIOUS KINDS
TRIANGULAR SCALES

• TOOLS GENERALLY USED

WHEN REPRODUCING A
DRAWING IN AN ENLARGED
OR REDUCED FORM TO
SOME REGULAR
PROPORTION
ERASING
SHIELD
• TOOLS IS MADE UP OF METAL
WITH IRREGULAR HOLES IT IS A
USEFUL TOOL TO PROTECT THE
REST OF THE DRAWING WHEN
CLEANING UP SMUDGES
UNNECESSARY PENCIL LINES
AND OTHER ERASURE
• DRAWING INSTRUMENTS

• USED FOR DRAWING AND DESIGNING PURPOSES THEIR QUALITY IS

VERY ESSENTIAL IF YOU WANT TO HAVE GOOD RESULT. CHEAPER
DRAWING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS DO NOT ONLY PROVIDE POOR
QUALITY RESULTS BUT ALSO DO NOT LAST LONG
T- SQUARE
• INSTRUMENT USED WHEN MAKING HORIZONTAL LINES IT IS ALSO
USED FOR GUIDING TRIANGLES WHEN DRAWING VERTICAL LINES
• TYPES OF T- SQUARE
• 1. FIXED HEAD- FASTENED TO THE BLADE IT IS USED FOR ORDINARY
WORK
• 2. MOVABLE HEAD OR ADJUSTABLE HEAD- IT HAS ONE FIXED AND
ONE ADJUSTABLE HEAD AND USED ONLY FOR OCCASIONAL DRAWING
• 3. DETACHABLE HEAD OR REMOVABLE HEAD- IT IS DESIGNED FOR
COMFORT WHEN CARRYING THE T-SQUARE.
T- SQUARE
TRIANGLES
• IS A THREE SIDED RULER WHICH TYPICALLY HAS TWO
EQUAL SIDES MEETING AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND TO A
THIRD SIDE AT 45 , 30 ,60 DEGREE ANGLES
COMPASS

• INSTRUMENT IS USED WHEN DRAWING

ARCS AND CIRCLES IT IS USED IN A
SIMILAR WAY TO A DIVIDER IS
COMPOSED ON ONE WITH THE PEN
LEG AND THE NEEDLE POINT LEG BEING
HELD TOGETHER WITH A HANDLE
DIVIDER

• DRAWING INSTRUMENT USED WHEN

TRANSFERRING MEASUREMENT
DIVIDING LINES AND ARC INTO THE
DESIRED NUMBER OF EQUAL PARTS
PROTRACTOR
• SEMI CIRCULAR INSTRUMENT DIVIDED
INTO 180 DEGREE EQUAL PART EACH OF
WHICH IS CALLED A DEGREE IT IS USED TO
DETEMINE GRADATIONS OF THE DEGREE
WHEN MEASURING ANGLES AND CIRCLE
