ORTHOGRAPHIC
SKETCHING
At the end of the lesson, the
students should be able to:
• Recognize the basic principles of orthographic
sketching.
• Execute the basic principles of orthographic
sketching in drawing.
• Show the basic principles of orthographic in
drawing objects.
• The term orthographic is derived from two Greek words,
orthos and graphos
• “Orthos” means to write and “graphos” means to draw.
• In other words, it describes a type of drawing represented
only by lines, without shading or rendering.
• Orthographic drawing is a special type of drawing which
may not be pleasing to the eyes, but it is easier to
understand than other types of drawing after one
develops skill in reading and interpreting it.
 The Projection Box
• An orthographic drawing can
be illustrated with a projection
box
• If the box is opened flat on a
table or on the plane of the
drawing paper, it will appear as
shown in figure 50.
 6 PRINCIPAL VIEWS
1. Top View (TV)
2. Front View (FV)
3. Right side view (RSV)
4. Left side view (LSV)
5. Rear/Back view
6. Bottom view
• If the projection box is
opened flat, the positions
of the top, front, and right
side views are arranged
in an L shape, as shown
in the figure 52.
If the other views are drawn , their
arrangements or locations will
appear as shown in figure 53.
• In the drawing, the right and left
side view and the rear view are
horizontally in line with the front
view.
• Three views are generally required
to represent an object. These are
the top, front and right side views.
• The name of the top view must be
indicated above, not under the view
