Drawing Technique

Drawing Technique

The aims of this assignment are:

That the students:

Learn  basic skills in using SketchUp as a technical 3D drawing programme 22222x235w

Learn basic isometric drawing techniques in order to be able to - quickly and effectively - visualize different problems with a pencil on sketching paper - in the beginning supported by a model already drawn in SketchUp.

Contents - methods

General rules for: Drawing formats, scaling, writing and measurements on drawing, title box, hatching and line thicknesses.

Three-dimensional isometric drawings.

Keeping your model organised in SketchUp - some basic rules and tools

Working methods:

The course will alternate between lectures and assignments/exercises - mainly individual work.

Activities:

• Setting up the programme SketchUp

• Draw exercises in "Assignments in SketchUp"

• Layout of drawing on sketching paper size A3, including the drawing of a title box

• Using basic drawing equipment - Draw Assignments 1 and 2 on the sketching paper you have already set up.  

• Using underlay graph paper with an appropriate grid, draw 3 D illustrations as "seen on screen" in "Iso-view"

• Alternate between SkecthUp 3D drawings and hand drawings - on all assignments (1-10)

• Try out true hand sketching, i.e. draw 3D sketches - using a pencil only without the support of underlay paper and other drawing equipment.
