Exploring Technical Drawing: From Orthographic to Axonometric

One day, before coming to class, the teachers asked us all to cut a cube opening. None of us understood why we were doing this. It turned out that they were going to explain what an orthographic drawing was. Frankly, it was a very enjoyable class. We were drawing from 3 different angles, independent of perspective. I had a lot of fun doing all my homework. In the first homework, it was really hard to keep the page clean and tidy. Also, getting the line quality and thickness right is really challenging at first.

Of course, these difficulties did not reduce the pleasure I had. Later, we learned that we could make the same drawing in a sectioned form and that there was nothing different except scanning the areas where we cut the sections. I think it is very valuable to be able to cast a three-dimensional object into two dimensions in this way. Our first midterm was about this subject. It was an easier midterm than the homework they gave.

Of course I had a small deficit.

Each line of the hidden lines should be equal. I corrected my mistake after the exam.

After these, we learned another method called axionmetric drawing. With this drawing method, we can see 3 different surfaces of the same object in a single drawing without any deformation. As everyone knows, it is very important for us not to be deformed. Although this drawing method was as enjoyable as orthographic, it was not as easy. It also has a section in it, and it is called exploted axionmetric. It is as if they took the features of the two and mixed them.

Our 2nd Midteam was also related to this. It was a really hard drawing to understand. It confused us, and at one point I only did what I understood. It really did not make sense, because it was a very difficult drawing. They said that we could make a rhino of it as a bonus later, and I think I understood it better when I made the rhino. Seeing it in 3D or creating it in 3D, even if it was digital, helped it settle in my head.
