 Welcome to Technical Drawing

very current and practical journey of the best technical drawing

techniques both manual and CAD.

Introduction to
Technical drawing may take you on. We look at the tools and materials required to
be able to create your very own technical drawings both by hand,
scale rulers, T-squares, and pens and pencils, as well as in your

Technical drawing is all about communication and design

development, which is exactly what we tackle as we break
down very practical design elements and develop a technical
drawing and drawing style while looking at creating drawings for
manufacture. We then take an in-depth look at what AutoCAD
is and the importance it has in so many industries such as
interior design, architecture, and engineering, to name a few.
We are going to cover everything from best drawing practices,
techniques, shortcuts to optimise your drawing time to creating
your own drawing templates.

We investigate the isometric and orthographic projection and 2D

and 3D drawings which is vital for the visualisation of drawings
and manufacturing of concepts.

“Our designs will impact people’s day to

day lives more than we will understand, so
the importance of brilliant, functional and
thought through design is imperative.”
