Technical Drawings give detailed information about Structure, Dimensions, Materials and Assembly
The main ones are Perspectives, Isometric Projections and Planometric Projections
Working Drawings also include Orthographic Projections and Sections
Projections are three-dimensional shapes on a 2D surface

for his mathematical illusions. His drawings have
inspired many other artists


Their advantage is that they show the object's dimensions accurately, making it easier to draw them, to scale from the Plan View
Planometric projections (like isometric drawings) show all dimensions accurately and to scale, and are frequently used to show buildings or room layouts

In an Isometric Projection all vertical lines on an object remain vertical while horizontal lines are drawn at 30°Isometric projection distorts shapes slightly in order to keep all upright lines vertical (and because perspective is ignored)
Their advantage is that they show the object's dimensions accurately, making it easier to draw them, to scale from the Plan View
Planometric projections (like isometric drawings) show all dimensions accurately and to scale, and are frequently used to show buildings or room layouts
Because they are drawn with 45° angles, there is no distortion, so that a circular object can be shown as a true circle
In Perspective Drawings the forward face or edge
of the object is drawn first, with the other lines receding away from the viewer, just as they appear when you look
at a real object

together at the Vanishing Points

vanishing points

for developing ideas in 3D

for internal views

for drawings of tall buildings


in the following drawing


Although these may be done in Isometric or Planometric projection, the normal drawing technique is orthographic projection
Some objects may need a Section Drawing to give extra structural information, or an Assembly Drawing to show how the parts fit together

If the receding lines are extended they will meettogether at the Vanishing Points
One Point Perspective Image from: Andrew Diec
Perspective drawings can use one, two or threevanishing points
Two Point Perspective Image from: Andrew Diec
Two-point perspective has many applicationsfor developing ideas in 3D

Three-point perspective is sometimes usedfor internal views
Three Point Perspective Image from: Andrew Diec
More often, Three-point perspective is usedfor drawings of tall buildings

The advantage of perspective drawing is that it makes objects appear more realistic, as objects appear to get smaller as their distance from the observer increasesImage from: Google Search

Drawings which contain all the information needed to make an object, including dimensions and details of components, materials and assembly instructions, are called Working Drawings Although these may be done in Isometric or Planometric projection, the normal drawing technique is orthographic projection
Some objects may need a Section Drawing to give extra structural information, or an Assembly Drawing to show how the parts fit together
