Types of Pictorial Drawings Explained

Pictorial drawings provide a view of an object from a chosen perspective or point of view. There are several types of pictorial drawings including perspective, isometric, and oblique drawings. Perspective drawings produce an image similar to what the human eye sees using one, two, or three vanishing points. Isometric drawings are built on three axes at 30 degree angles to provide a three dimensional view. Oblique drawings represent depth using either cavalier or cabinet projections.

Pictorial drawings

Pictorial drawings

view of an object (actual or imagined) as it would be seen by an observer who looks


at the object either in a chosen direction or from a selected point of view.

Pictorial drawings, either sketched freehand or made with drawing instruments, are
frequently used by engineers and architects to convey ideas to their assistants and
clients.
PERSPECTIVE ISOMETRIC OBLIQUE

WAYS TO DRAW Pictorial drawings


perspective
A Perspective drawing is one of the best types of drawings
to use to provide a pictorial representation of an object. They
produce an image of an object in three dimensions that is very
similar to what the human eye sees. Perspective drawings can be
in one point, two point or three point perspective. One of the
most common uses of perspective drawing is in architecture,
where it is used to provide a client, or the public, an image that
gives a good representation of how the project will look when it
is built.
isometric
isometric
Isometric drawing is the most commonly used
method of pictorial drawing. Isometric drawings are
built on three lines, called isometric axes. One is drawn
vertically and the other two with the 30° set square
either side of it. An Isometric drawing is a way of
presenting designs in three dimensions (3D). They can
be completed using the 30/60 set square or freehand.
oblique
Oblique projection is probably the simplest method
of producing a pictorial drawing because surfaces are
directly in front of the viewer will look very similar to the
front view in an orthogonal drawing. It is a method of
drawing objects in 3 dimensions and may be drawn at any
angle although 45⁰ is generally used. It is quite a simple
technique compared to isometric or even perspective
drawing.
There are two specific forms of Oblique drawings. These
are Cavalier and Cabinet projection. The
difference between the two is how the depth of the object is
represented. A cavalier projection (a) is obtained
when the angle between oblique projectors and the plane of
projection is 45⁰ and the rear projections are true to size.
The resulting figure appears too thick and distorted. A
cabinet projection (b) is used to correct this
deficiency. Cabinet projection is an oblique projection
where the length of the lines projecting backwards are half
