Some Not Seen Some: Drawing Presentation-Isometric, Oblique and Orthogonal
This part of the resource package is provided to assist you to understand and recognise
some of the methods used to present objects. The exercises are suitable for completion by
sketching or more formal drawing using instruments. While line work is not seen as an
essential skill needed to complete this resource package, some effort should be made to use
suitable lines to complete the work (that is, construction lines, outlines, centre lines.).
Information is provided covering both formal drawing and sketching. If you are asked to
complete this work by your teacher, discuss and agree on the method to be used.

It is advisable'to try and keep the sketch in proportion to the object. In the illustration you
will notice the; difference in proportion between the isometric sketch and the orthogonal (2D)
sketch. In the"fil:at sketch (2D), the hole is out of position. The block is too high and the slot
is too narrow'a:lrrd deep. While the sketch should be in proportion, dimensions will provide the
working informll.ltion.
An advantage'<of sketching is that you only need a pencil, paper and an eraser. The drawing
paper is not selrured to the drawing board during sketching, so that the paper can be rotated
to allow the eaSB of line work and blending of lines.
Method of sketching Instructions - practice freehand sketching on lines in the position provided.
Left-handers - reverse the instructions on these pages where you need to.

Always watch the point of the pencil when drawing a straight line. Try to keep your lines
of even thickness for any particular type of line. If you are using a conical point pencil, 30°.60° and vertical
rotate it while you draw to help keep an even line thickness.

To draw lines parallel to any given line the compass must be set to the distance the lines
should be apart. Close to the extremities of the line draw arcs. With a rule draw a line to
touch the crest (tangent) of both arcs.
To draw a circle of specified diameter, the compass is set from a rule to a radius which
corresponds to half the diameter.

Again you can draw the object inside a box with the same overall dimensions as the object. The length
and height of the true shape are in proportion, with the width drawn in half proportion to keep the
drawing in perspective.
/ True shape of a section
Step 1 Draw a rectangle to the overall length and height of one side of the object to be drawn. We
generally choose a side in which the true shape of the object is seen.
Step 4 From the four points plotted, complete the box, making sure each line is parallel to its
corresponding line in the original rectangle.
Step 2 From each corner of the rectangle project light lines at 45°. These lines can be either to
the left or right depending on how the details will be shown most clearly.
Step 5 Plot the true shape of the object on the correct faces of the box.
Step 3 On the 45° lines plot half the proportional width of the object. Step 6 Darken the outline of the object and remove the light construction lines.

A plane (a surface on which the image is projected) is positioned perpendicular (at 90°) to one of
these principal axes and parallel to the other two. An image of the object's surface is then
transferred to the plane by parallel projection lines. The image produced is a true shape of what your
eye sees.
