• Using a pencil
•  Measuring in
• Drawing a line between two marks
• Using a drafting square or protractor

Tracing

A demonstartion of how to trace and transfer the patterns to your drawing can be seen in the video: Mark the Pickups and tracing

Accuracy

If you are just designing for fun then accuracy is not so important however if you are going to build some of the most simple errors can cause major problems down the line. Make sure to check everything at least twice if you are going to use your design to build from.
