Racefounder: what is it? Why use pen drawing?

Drawing is a complex process with many nuances that requires the presence of certain tools. One of them is the pen-finder. What it is and how it can be used is described below.

What is it like?

Initially, this word has two meanings. The first is the "pen-holder for the lead". The second is "an adjustable pen with which you can draw." The first case in the world of drawing is quite rare, as it is easier to find the right pencil. That's why now the drawing pen is a drawing tool for carrying lines with ink.

Depending on the type it looks different, but the general structure is similar. Usually it is a handle made of hard plastic or metal, on which the tip is fixed. It can disconnect or not, be made of different materials, but in any case there must be a small nut that holds two small pointed plates. Its adjustment affects the thickness of the line, which is obtained after filling the gap.

Tool history

The raisfeder was invented in the 18th century. At that time he was a mandatory set for creating accurate maps and drawings - ready. It was an advanced toolkit that made it possible to clearly create the necessary images.

At the beginning of the XX century it was significantly improved. The inconvenience of the instrument was that it was difficult to handle the ink, it all the time ended, flowed and so on. To eliminate these drawbacks, a rapidogram was created - a tool with replaceable cans of ink of a certain diameter.

Now Penetrader, whose photo can be seen a little higher, is not so popular in the drawing circles, but it is still important for drawing, calligraphy, icon painting and other art directions.

Types of tools called "Penetrader"

What it is and who invented it, we have already figured out. Now it is worth saying that there are several different types of tools. These include:

• Penetrader with one head for conducting one flat line at a time;
• A double drawer with two fixed heads for holding two identical strips per call;
• The knob is a handle with a movable head, which allows you to draw curved lines along templates, can also be double;
• Circular, in which the writing part of the compass is the head of the pen-finder;
• Also it can be linear, knife-like or with thick cheeks - in the shape of the head.

The raider, whose photo is below, is an ancient instrument whose design has changed only with the advent of the Rapidograph.

Where is it applied?

A tool is used for various graphic tasks. Their list is quite wide, since clear lines of a certain thickness are necessary in many situations. Here you can include:

• Creating drawings, for example, when planning buildings;
• For drawing topographic maps on paper;
• Outlining drawings of a certain style, drawing manga (Japanese comics);
• In icon painting, for example, for drawing a halo;
• Much more.

That's why the questions about such a tool as the pen-finder - what it is and how to use it - is important for many professions, starting with builders and ending with the creators of comic books.

Usage Details

If you look at the pen-finder, what it is, you can understand better. According to its structure and features, there are some nuances of its use, which are important for both drawing and other graphic works.

First, the tool must be kept as straight as possible. This is done so that an intermittent line does not form from above or below. If you tilt the tool too much to the side, one of the plates will stop touching the paper, which will lead to an undesirable effect. This is especially true for a pen-drawing device with a movable head - it must move strictly perpendicularly with respect to the paper, otherwise the moving part will not be able to "go" normally along a given curve.

Secondly, to use effectively you need a skill. To draw a straight line so that the ink does not flow under the ruler or there are no blots and unnecessary waves, at first it is almost impossible. On the draft it is necessary to practice and concentrate, and only then to pass to the original.

Third, thick lines are slightly more complicated. Two neat, thinner lines are made according to the upper and lower boundary of the wide band, then the middle is filled with ink using a brush or another similar tool.

In this case, the more personal practice, the more aesthetic and faithful will be the drawing.

Fillers

Fill the distance between the plates in the drawer can be various fillers. In official drawings, this is determined by experience and GOSTs. Lines of a certain thickness will not work with an improperly prepared composition.

Usually this is mascara, since black lines are necessary in drawing. Less common application of drawing pen in color drawing requires filling with paint. It is very important to correctly maintain the consistency of the composition so that it does not spread out in the instrument, does not fall under the ruler and does not spoil the end result. The opposite situation is possible, when due to too thick filler the line does not turn out at all, as it will not drain onto paper.

Care of the tool

For effective drawing it is important to keep the tool in perfect order. To do this, after each use, thoroughly clean the pen drawing and carry out preventive work:

• Wash with a soap solution, then with alcohol;
• The plates should be the same in length;
• Their thickness must also coincide and be thin enough, approximately with a hair, while the tool can only be sharpened from the outside;
• With the help of chromium oxide, polish the outer and very carefully the inner parts, after which gently work the sharpened edges.

Regular care will help to get a really good result. Before working with a cleaner, it is recommended to make a pair of test lines on an unnecessary sheet of paper to make sure the line parameters are correct.

The raisfeeder is a tool for drawing and drawing. A popular thing is in science and art, which, if properly applied, will give you a qualitative result.
