Drawing Instruments - box and pencils

The quality of a good drawing does not only depend on the talent of the craftsmen but also on the quality of instruments he uses.

Drawing instruments are generally sold in sets in boxes, but they are also available separately. The main parts of high grade instruments are generally made of nickel or brass. They must be rust proof. Tool steel is used for making the blades of the inking pen, bow instruments and various screws.

An instrument box contains the following: (Fig 1a to h)
