3 DIMENSIONAL projection is a

2 DIMENSIONAL/ ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
 Orthographic drawings are
important for artists to better
see the objects you’re drawing in
Why Are a 3D space.
Orthographic
Drawings Not only it helps you do this, but
Important? it also allows other people that
are interested in drawing that

the object in ANY angle.
 Think of it like a blueprint for the

Orthographic
Drawings Or imagine you’re trying to describe a
Important? beautiful table to someone. It’s easier if
you just take a few photos from each
angle and show it to them right? That
would be something close to an
orthographic projection.

And Isometric Drawing
SIDE Differences
◦ An isometric drawing is a three-
dimensional representation of
that same object.

◦ An orthographic drawing is
a two-dimensional
FRONT representation of an object, with
all the views represented in it.
