Introduction • A pictorial drawing is a method of producing a three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional view, that shows the three main faces indicating the
height,
width
and
depth
simultaneously. It is an essential part of the graphic language.

Types of Pictorial Projections • Axonometric projection is a projected view in which the lines of sight are perpendicular to the plane of projection, but the three faces of a rectangular object are all inclined to the plane of projection.
ISOMETRIC
DIMETRIC
TRIMETRIC
Types of Pictorial Projections • Isometric projection: The receding lines are drawn at 300 from the horizontal and the others are vertical. Consider a cubic object, the three principal faces and axes are equally inclined to the plane of projection.
Types of Pictorial Projections • Dimetric projection: Two of the principal faces and axes are equally inclined to the plane of projection.
Types of Pictorial Projections • Trimetric projection: All three principal faces and axes make different angles with the plane of projection.
Types of Pictorial Projections • Oblique projection: the projectors are oblique to the plane of projection but parallel to each other, and one of the principal face (usually front view) of the object is generally parallel to the plane of projection. The receding line is drawn at 300, 450 and 600 from the horizontal.

Types of Pictorial Projections • Central/perspective projection is the most realistic three-dimensional view of all the pictorial projections, because it portrays the object in a manner that is most similar to how the human eye perceives the visual world. • Horizon: an imaginary horizontal line taken at eye level. • Vanishing point (VP): a point on the horizon where receding lines converge.
Types of Pictorial Projections • One point: have one vanishing point (VP). VP

Isometric Drawings Difference Between Isometric Projection and Isometric Drawing: • An isometric projection is a true representation of the isometric view of an object. • An isometric drawing is an axonometric pictorial drawing for which the angle between each axes equals 120 0 and the scale used is full scale. • Isometric drawing is almost always preferred over isometric
projection
for
engineering
because it is easier to produce.

Isometric Drawings Isometric Axes: • Isometric axes are three lines that have common intersection points; the angle between each axis equals 120 0
. The plane made by two isometric
axes is called isometric plane.

Isometric Drawings Isometric and Non-Isometric Lines and Planes: • Isometric line is the line that run parallel to any of the isometric axes and includes normal line. • Any line that does not run parallel to any of isometric axes is called non-isometric line. And it includes inclined and oblique lines. • A plane that are not parallel to any isometric planes is called non-isometric plane. And it includes inclined and oblique planes. • Isometric Plane is the plane parallel to any of isometric planes and includes normal plane.

Oblique Drawings Difference Between Oblique Projection and Oblique Drawing: • An oblique projection is a true representation of the oblique view of an object. • An oblique drawing is an pictorial drawing for which the angle between each vertical and horizontal axis is 90
0
and the angle between
horizontal and receding axis is usually 30 0, 45
0
and 60 0.

Oblique Drawings Oblique Axes: • Oblique
axes
are
three
namely,
vertical,
horizontal and receding axis; and the axes have common intersection points. The plane made by vertical and horizontal axis is called normal plane. The normal plane represents front view with true shape. • The advantage of oblique pictorials over isometric pictorials is that circular shapes parallel to normal plane are shown true shape and easy to sketch.

Steps in Pictorial Drawing 1. Position the object. 2. Select isometric/oblique axis. 3. Sketch enclosing box. 4. Add details. 5. Darken visible lines.
Steps in Pictorial Drawing
Circles in Pictorial Drawing • Circles in pictorial drawing always become ellipses except it is parallel to normal plane of oblique pictorial. • In isometric drawing, the circle always become ellipse. • In oblique drawing when the circle is parallel to normal plane, it is drawn as its true shape and become circle; for other planes other than normal plane the circle becomes ellipse.

Circles in Pictorial Drawing Methods to Draw Ellipse: • There are two method namely, offset method and four center method. • The offset method can be diagonal approach and division approach.

Division approach offset method.
Circles in Pictorial Drawing • The four center method as its name indicates uses four center to draw an ellipse. It is efficient method. Steps in Four Center Method: 1. Draw a rhombus using the diameter of a circle. 2. Construct perpendicular bisecting lines from each side of rhombus. 3. Draw lines from obtuse angle corners to opposite side of rhombus by intersecting the midpoint. 4. Locate the four centers. 5. Draw the arcs with this centers and tangent to rhombus.

Four center method.
Arcs in Pictorial Drawing Arcs are usually sketched by locating their centers and then boxing in the enclosing rhombus and tangent to the rhombus.
Irregular Curves in Pictorial Drawing Steps: 1. Construct
points
along the curve in multi-view drawing. 2. Locate these points in
the
isometric
view. 3. Sketch connecting lines.

Hidden Lines in Pictorial Drawing • In pictorial drawings, hidden lines are omitted unless they are absolutely necessary to completely describe the object. Most pictorial drawings will not have hidden lines. • To avoid using hidden lines, choose the most descriptive viewpoint. However, if an pictorial viewpoint can not clearly depicts all the major features, hidden lines may be used.
