Abstract:
A gauge for preparing drawings and/or other characters which are observed in such a way to achieve a virtual deepness effect, and a method for using the gauge in which that gauge has a base part (1) of with stencil type cutouts of letters (2) and/or graphic elements (3) and/or semi or totally pre-formed drawings (4), to serve as patterns for the drawing reproduction on a determined surface, and the base part has a scale with markings at progressively closer distance intervals (m). The gauge is positioned on a drawing surface, a figure is drawn through a cutout at a marked point on the surface, the gauge is moved to the marked point, the figure is redrawn and a point of smaller distance is marked. The redrawing is continued as many times as desired.
