Orthographic Drawings

We have learned orthographic drawing technique. Orthographic drawing is drawing different views of a given object. It does not include perspective and depth. It is just the projection of the sides. Also line weights should be considered. The lines which are at the front must be drawn bold and the ones at back must be drawn light.

Top view should be drawn first. Then reference lines are drawn to not calculate the width proportions again. It is just needed to measure the length to draw first side view. Drawing the second side is the easiest one. Because it has reference lines from the top and the other side view so width and length values are not needed to measure again. Also reference lines should be too light to not make them very visible.

Our first orthographic drawing was easy. We draw an image which has a geometrical shape.

After that drawing we were asked to draw a puncher orthographically. It was difficult because it is a 3D object and it is hard to measure the lengths and draw as 2D.

While drawing the top view I draw perspective as I see the object. However it was a mistake. At orthographic drawing I just had to draw its 2D view.

Finally we were asked to draw our models’ drawings which we made with 7 rectangular planes at 101 course. It was more easy than the puncher. And it was an exercise before drawing our prejury models.
