2.01
Explain the concepts related to
sketching.
Purpose of a Sketch

 Quickly & easily get an idea

on paper
 Design sketches
 Freehand technical sketches
 Technical illustrations
 Freehand Technical Sketch

 Freehand technical
sketches can be
multiview or pictorial.
This type of sketch
usually includes more
detail and structure than
design sketches. They
are also typically
include dimensions
 Design Sketch
 Design sketches are
rough sketches that
are used to quickly
capture an idea. They
tend to have less
detail, structure, and
restrictions than
freehand or technical
illustrations
 Technical Illustration
 Technical illustration
include more detail,
structure, and
restrictions than other
types of sketches. The
objective here is to
create a sketch that
looks as close to the
final object as
possible.
Sketching Materials

 Paper
 Pencil  Optional
 Soft lead  Eraser
 Grid Paper
Sketching Technique

 Proportion
The relation in size between various parts of a drawing. A
drawing is said to be in proportion if all its parts are correct
sizes when compared to all other parts.

 Clarity
the quality of being easy to see; sharpness of image

 Sketching Aids
 Figure 2-6 a-c (BTD) shows a useful methods of sketching aids
Sketching Lines

 Vertical lines
 Top to bottom

 Long straight lines

 Series of short straight lines
Sketching Angles

 Begin with 90° angle

TERMS

 Point
 Is a symbol that describes a location in space

 Line
 Is the path between two points that is straight

or curved
 Plane
 Is a surface that is flat.

 Texture
 Refers to the surface quality of an object
 Sketching Circles & Arcs

 Begin by lightly constructing a square

multiview sketching.
Sketching

 Types of Sketches
 Single-view
 Multi-view
 Pictorials
Single-view Sketching

 Technical purposes

 Front view
 Most descriptive features

Multi-view Sketching

 Technical sketch
 Front view
 Top view
 Side view
Multi-view Sketch

Single-view/Multiview Sketch Assignment
Pictorial Sketches

 Quickly communicate an idea

 Three dimensions in one view
 Width
 Height
 Depth
Pictorial Sketches

 Three (3) types

 Isometric
 Oblique
 Perspective

 Isometric Sketching

 Three equally
spaced axes
of 120°
 Isometric Sketching

 Receding lines
 Typically 30°
off horizontal
 Isometric Sketching

 Circular
shapes
appear as
ellipses
 Isometric Ellipses

 Correct

orientation
 Isometric Sketching

 Non-Isometric
lines
 Locate
endpoints and
connect

 Oblique Sketching

 Front view is
drawn true
shape and size
Oblique Sketching

 Receding
edges are
usually drawn
at an angle of
30°, 45°, or 60°
 Oblique Sketching

 Circles and
curves drawn
on frontal plane
will appear true
shape and size
Oblique Sketching Assignment
 Perspective Sketches

1-Point Perspective 2-Point Perspective

Perspective Sketches

 Objects appear as the eye

would see them
 Most realistic type of pictorial
sketch
 Most difficult pictorial sketch to
draw
