Isometric Drawing And Orthographic Projection (Axonometric Vs Cavalier Drawing)

So we did these sketches on those weird volumes. Let me just get the sketchbook. We've got the things over here. All right, these are nice little sketches. Again, don't get caught in the mental trap of thinking these need to look perfectly photorealistic, because they don't. They're just sketches. They will just help you think better, right? And they'll help you in a lot of ways. You'll think better, you'll understand these volumes better, etc. All right, let's get to drawing these in Axonometric. Cool, what scale should I draw these at? Probably, because all these little volumes fit in cubes, I'll probably go for the square ones first. That's one, two, five, yeah, five and nine, right? I'll go for the square ones first. And then, yeah, obviously go for the round ones, because you need a compass to get these curves, to draw ellipses in Axonometric. Right, let's get to it. So, number one, I'll probably start by drawing an 8 by 8 square. I need to get better pencils, because these work really badly. Oh man, this is a Cavalier AXA. Nice, can't wait to get it sorted. Cavalier all the way. I'd recommend you always use construction lines. Don't measure, but always construct your volumes. Oh goody, this doesn't fit on the screen. Oh, that's a shame. I forgot, it's not about me drawing, it's about this looking good on the screen in front of us. So, what did I do here? I drew a parallel, so I don't have to measure another line. So, we've got the little square. Start, well, 8 is hard to divide by 3. Start to, I'll probably do the other one smaller. Damn, graphics construction. Yay, Candy Mountain. This, just like in the sketches, we're off to drawing a grid now. If I can grab an A4 piece of paper. That's nice with drawing, it changes you, and change is good, definitely. Change is one of the best things in the world. Always be changing, always be improving, never settle. Because when we settle, then trouble starts happening. Let's see. All right, so we've got a grid. Let's do the T bar thing, so it should be like this edge here. Always draw the parallel lines all together, so you don't have to switch the, switch your triangle too many times. As a hint, that's, that's when your drawing gets messy, when you start switching your triangle. Don't measure, always use constructive, always, sorry, construct your volumes. Even with the edges you don't see, should be it. You should have something here. Man, why doesn't this look as good as I want it to look? It's actually much more interesting like this. A bit more room. Yeah, it's just a matter of sorting out the page layouts. Right, and let's go for constructive shadows, because obviously we've got a lot of stuff here. Man, this set square, this triangle, sorry, is so *******, this will get you in trouble. Dirty drawing tools will cause trouble. We don't want that, just want to draw. Quick draw on the graph. Yeah, for my first act, so this looks really good on page, it looks really bad on camera. So use a thick line to get this shadows, these shadows here. All right, boom. I've got a nice little, little whatever. You can also go and hatch. This is a technical drawing, so you can, well, let's go for a bit of hatching, I guess. Not too crazy about hatching right now. So this is the shadow face. It's going to have hatching going all the way, cross hatching. Boom, there you go. It should be slightly lighter, because it's a vertical shadow. Let's get to the other one. What if, you know, what if I draw this again, but using an upside down XO? Maybe making it a bit smaller. So I'll use a six by six cube. And now it's upside down. Oh, it's going to be more complex then. What if it's harder to draw? I can't cut it off. What about this? What if that? So if it's flipped, then, so it's flipped. Yeah, this is going to be good. So again, don't put pressure on yourself. These are drawings, they're architectural drawings. They don't need to look like, I mean, yeah, these things don't even exist in real life. You see, that's just bad thinking. Thinking that these need to look in a different way. They're drawings and they need to be sort of rough. That's what makes them good. It's human elements. So this is upside down edge here. You don't need this edge here. That doesn't exist because it's all the same sort of plane. See what I can grab an eraser from. Come on, somewhere. Eraser, please. Hopefully this is an eraser as well. This is just a very light gray. This starts being a bit darker. It's the other parts of these little boxes. Yeah, camera was off. I don't know what you missed. So we drew the other cube. Let's see the next design. Oh, this is weird. So the next design should be like triangular. The real triangle. Using this because it's slightly cleaner. Right. You see, I have all the construction lines on my page. No exceptions. Never forget about construction lines. Intersects here. Yeah, this isn't bad. Let's go for visibility. Let's draw like slightly longer shadows. So you've got a 40 degree thing here. This as well. Go like this, like this. Marker time again. You need to balance the amount of cheap graphic tricks you use in your drawings. For now, we will be using quite many of them. This is the second one.
