Drawing Techniques Flashcards
What are some different types of drawing techniques?
● Orthographic projection
● Isometric projection
● Exploded drawings
● One point perspective
What are Orthographic Projections?
This drawings is used to show sizes and details of a design. It is usually requires in 3 views (Front,
side and plan), so that every detail can be seen.
Who uses orthographic projections?
Used by Architects, Engineers, interior, exhibition designers etc
What are isometric projections
Isometric projection is a type of drawing in which a 3D view is created by making the horizontal
planes of an object tilt at an angle of 30°.
Who uses isometric projections
Used by Product designers, Engineers, Interior designers and architects.
What is an exploded drawing?
Exploded diagrams show how a product can be assembled and how the separate parts fit together, with dotted lines showing where the parts slide
into place.
Who uses exploded drawings?
Used by Product designers, Engineers, Interior designers and architects.
What are perspective drawings?
- Perspective drawings are
commonly used in technical drawing to show an item in 3D on a 2D page. - Perspective drawings show an object in 3D getting smaller in the distance.
Who uses perspective drawings
Used by Product designers, Engineers, Interior designers and architects.
What are one point perspective drawings?
This shows an object from the front in a realistic way as it gets smaller going into the distance. The front view goes back towards a vanishing point, which is a point on the horizon line that all lines meet at
What are two point perspective drawings?
This shows an object from the side with two vanishing points. It gives the most realistic view of a product as it shows the item edge on, as we would see it. It is often used to produce realistic drawings of an object.
