  1. Getting Started – The Basics Equipment needed The basics Dimensions Created By: Jeff Buckley

  2. Equipment • Drawing board/Drawing table • Tee-square • Set squares • Protractor • Compass • French curves or flexi curves • Pencils • Pencil sharpener • Eraser • Paper • Masking tape/Drawing clips

  3. Drawing table/Drawing board • Any flat surface with a straight edge for your tee-square will do from both schoolwork and homework.

  4. Tee-square • The best type of tee-square is shown below as it should not warp (personal preference you may find a different type better)

  5. Set squares • There are three types. The first two are compulsory and the adjustable is optional but recommended.

  6. Protractor • Any see-through protractor will do.

  7. Compass • A good compass is very important. One from a mathematical set wont do.

  8. French curves or flexi curves (optional)

  9. Pencils • You will need a HB and 2H-5H pencil for technical drawings. • If possible you should try and get pencils ranging from b values to h values for freehand sketching. • Colouring pencils will also be needed.

  10. Pencil sharpener and Eraser • Any pencil sharpener will do but metal ones will last longer. • A vinyl eraser is needed. It should come with a plastic sleeve around it
