Drawing
A drawing is a graphical representation of a real object
The shape, size, finish, colour, and construction of any object can be
described accurately and clearly in the simplest and shortest way. Best
results can be obtained if engineering drawing skills are developed with
due consideration to the following…
• Thorough understanding of original drawing
• Visualizing the job three dimensionally
• Clearly understanding and apprehending the shape, size, proportion
and design
• Expressing ideas on paper quickly and clearly by sketches.
• Developing speed and accuracy of the drawing

Drawing Conventions:
commonly accepted
practices, rules, or
methods (e.g., dashed
line for hidden feature)
Standards: set of rules that govern
how technical drawings are
represented (e.g., ANSI standards)
