Introduction

Introduction

Freehand sketching is a very important skill in Design and Graphics that everyone can improve. Sketches can transfer ideas, instructions, and information in a clear and concise way however; this requires the sketches to have the same proportions as the original drawing/object.

An example is shown in the next figures.

Isometric Projection

Isometric drawings are drawn with the aid of a 60/30 set square and a tee square. Isometric drawings are constructed using lines at 30° to the horizontal and vertical lines as shown in the next figures.

Isometric Projection

Note: isometric drawings use the same stages as sketching• Always start by faintly drawing the three axes of the

component with the 60/30 set square.• Make off the height, width and length along the

appropriate axis. Fig. 3.5 a.• Complete the box that will contain the finished object.

Fig. 3.5 b.• Still using feint lines build in the shape required. Fig.3.5

c.• Finally line in with a more bold line type. Fig. 3.5 d.
