How to draw in 3D!

Before you read this article you should first see the video down here.

Isometric

Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in technical and engineering drawings. The objects are drawn at a 30 degree angle. The dimensions in the drawing should be to scale to that of the original. In an 8x8x8 cube all lines are equal.

Oblique

Oblique projection is another method of drawing objects in 3D. It is quite a simple technique compared to isometric or even perspective drawing. A face of the object is chosen to start with and once ready, the other sides are drawn. In an 8x8x8 cube the lines parallel to the paper (I) are all equal, while the lines perpendicular to them (II) are half the actual size and at a 45 degree angle.

Planometric

Planometric, is quite similar to an isometric projection, but the angles are different. The angle inside the object should always add up to 90 degrees. This means that they can be paired up as 45 degrees with 45 degrees, 30 degrees with 60 degrees, and so on. The dimensions in the drawing should be to scale to that of the original. In an 8x8x8 cube all lines are equal.

2 Point Perspective

This view is quite different from the others, but in my opinion, it is the most realistic. This view uses a starting point and two vanishing points. The vanishing points are both on a (imaginary) horizontal line. From the starting point a vertical line, a horizontal line and two lines (each one going to a different vanishing point) are drawn. Measurements for height can be only taken to scale of the starting point vertical line. Measurements for width are taken on the horizontal line. The end points of the object (where the object stops) are then stretched to the other imaginary horizontal line. The line formed between the endpoints is then bisected (divided in exactly 2 parts with a compass). This point is then joined to the endpoints and the other measurements on the line. This is continued until the drawing is completed.
