What's in Premium?

In this lesson, you'll learn how to draw an object—in this case, an airplane—in three orthographic views: top, side, and front. We'll cover:

• Selecting the Best View to Start: Understand why the top view is ideal for capturing the full shape of the airplane.

• Drawing the Top View: Use a T-square to establish symmetry and accurately plot the wings, nose, and tail.

• Transferring Measurements: Learn how to transfer key measurements from the top view to the side and front views for consistency.

• Drawing the Side and Front Views: Focus on the correct representation of depth, width, and height in each view.

• Understanding Line Systems: Grasp how each orthographic view displays different dimensions and how to interpret them.

By the end of the lesson, you'll be able to create accurate orthographic drawings of simplified objects using fundamental drafting techniques.
