VI. Procedure (Knowledge)
Drafting is the act and discipline of composing drawings that
visually communicate how something functions or is constructed.
Similar with drawing / sketch, it has several things to be used.
Drafting tools, materials, and equipment are the best friends of the
architects. For our 5th Art Guide, we will tackle the different kinds
of drafting materials and their proper maintenance. Well, some of
them are commonly used and are familiar already.

Drafting Materials
Without the drafting tools, materials, and equipment, it will take
you a long time or it is very impossible to finish a work. The
following are the basic tools and materials used in drafting.

1. Drafting Table and Stand. It is a special table with a slanted

surface that can be adjusted based on the desired angle. It is
higher than an ordinary writing table because some drawings,
like mechanical drawing, are usually done while the draftsman
is standing.

2. T-square. Guides in drawing parallel horizontal lines.

3. Triangle. Draws perfect 90, 60, 45, and 30 degree angles.

4. Triangular Scale. This guides horizontal, vertical and diagonal

lines.

5. Compass. Draws large arcs and circles in pencil or pen point.

6. Divider. Used to equally divide a line or space by trial and

error.

7. Protactor. It is a semicircular tool used to measure or layout

angle/arc.

8. French Curve. It is used as a guide in drawing irregular

curved lines.

9. Erasing Shield. Used to erase ink, pencil lines, and blots

located in space.

10. Pencil Sharpener. As the name suggests, it sharpens pencils.

3
 11. Sandpaper Pad. Makes pencil points conical and long without
breaking.

12. Pencil. Consists of thick graphite used for writing and

drawing.

13. Drafting Paper. A thick paper specifically for drafting and

sketching.

14. Pencil Eraser. Used to remove unwanted lines and marks in

drawing.

15. Drafting Tape. It secures the drawing paper on the table.
