This document provides definitions and principles for different types of technical drawings including axonometric, oblique, perspective, and isometric drawings. It defines key terms like vanishing points, horizon, and picture plane used in perspective drawings. The document explains the principles of one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective drawings as well as isometric, dimetric, and trimetric drawings. Ellipse and circle drawings in isometric views are also covered.

▪ Axonometric Drawing- pictorial drawing which shows
the front side and top faces of an object in one view. 5. The vanishing point can be located anywhere if the ▪ Ellipse- closed curve in the form of a symmetrical object will not be distorted. For the two- point perspective, the two vanishing points must be aligned to each other. oval. ▪ Oblique Drawing- pictorial drawing in which the front plane is parallel to the plane of projection. ▪ Cavalier Oblique- this type of oblique drawing is drawn in its actual measurement. ▪ Cabinet Oblique- this is a type of oblique drawing wherein the width of objects is reduced by half of its size. ▪ Perspective Drawing- pictorial drawing which contains receding lines that converge at vanishing points on the horizon. ▪ One- point or parallel perspective- is a receding line that converges on a single vanishing point. ▪ Two- point or angular perspective- is a receding line that converges on two vanishing points. ▪ Three- point perspective- is a receding line that converges on three vanishing points. ▪ Picture Plane (PP)- this is an imaginary vertical plane where the picture is registered. ▪ Ground Line (GL)- this is where the actual figure is laid. ▪ Station Point (SP)- this is the fixed position where the object is actually viewed. ▪ Visual Rays- these are imaginary lines projecting from the observer to the figure passing through the picture plane. They are sometimes called receding lines. ▪ Horizon (H)- this is the point where the figure appears horizontally at eye level. ▪ Vanishing Point (VP)- this is the point where all receding lines meet in a perspective figure. ▪ Perspective drawing is also called as “foreshortened ONE- POINT PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS drawing”. ▪ The receding lines in isometric are always parallel.
Principles of Isometric, Dimetric and Trimetric Drawing
• Isometric- all receding edges are 𝟑𝟎𝟎. • Trimetric- one receding edge is 𝟏𝟓𝟎 and the other one is 𝟒𝟓𝟎. • Dimetric- all receding edges are 𝟏𝟓𝟎.
Principles of Ellipse Drawing TWO- POINT PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS
1. Isometric circles are drawn by drawing first the isometric square which surrounds the given circle. 2. The four center ellipse procedure is sufficient for isometric circle.
Principles of Oblique Drawing
1. The longest measurement should be placed in front. 2. Irregular shapes of the object should be placed in front to minimize distortion. 3. Arcs and circles in objects should be placed in front to minimize distortion. THREE- POINT PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS
Principles of Perspective Drawing
1. All receding lines converge on a vanishing points. 2. The farther the color, the lighter it appears. 3. The farther the object, lines, edges, the smaller it appears. 4. The object can be viewed in terms of bird’s eye view, eye level, and ant’s view.
