  1. Technical Drawing Designing things on paper

  2. Conceptual Sketches • When you first get an idea for something you want to build you may draw it roughly, without using instruments or accurate scales. This is called a conceptual sketch

  3. A conceptual sketch… • Allows an idea to be expressed quickly in graphic form • Is prepared free-hand (without drawing instruments) • Is not done to scale, but it respects the rules of technical drawing as much as possible, and is made roughly proportional to the object represented.

  4. Technical Drawings • Serve as a reference to workers, architects or machinists. • When you are ready to design the details, you make a technical drawing, done with more detail and more accuracy.

  5. A technical drawing… • Presents all the information necessary for the object’s construction. • Is made with great precision, requiring the use of rulers, compass and protractor. • Is done to scale, and respects the proportions of the object represented. • Respects conventions in the mode of the representation.

  6. Basic Lines (part 1)

  7. Basic Lines (part 1)

  8. As simple as a spoon, • Or…

  9. Or as complex as a space ship

  10. Projections • Perspective projections • Multi-view projections • Isometric projection • Oblique projection

  11. Perspective • Objects drawn in perspective look realistic. • They have “vanishing points” where straight lines seem to converge • They can have one, two or three vanishing points, depending on how much the artist wants to work • But in perspective, objects far away will be drawn smaller than nearby objects… not a good idea in technical drawing!

  12. Multi-view projection • Draws an object as it would be seen from several different directions • The views are “flat”, with right angles shown as right angles and all measurements to scale.

  13. Isometric Projection • Isometric (or false perspective) drawings look at first like perspective drawings… • But the lines don’t converge. There are no vanishing points and distant objects are the same size as nearby ones. • Right angles in isometric projections are usually represented by 60° or 120° angles.

  14. More isometric drawings

  15. Oblique Projection • Similar to isometric projection, it is a “false perspective” • In oblique projections, the side of the object facing you is drawn “square” that is with right angles at 90°

  16. Isometric vs. Perspective • Perspective drawings look nicer, but… • Isometric drawings give more accurate information. • Perspective drawings are used by artists, isometric are used in technical drawing.
