Activity Brief
Introduction
How do reading the face of a clock and sketching isometric pictorials relate to each other? Picture a cube in your mind. All of the surfaces of the cube form right angles with their adjacent faces. If you were to draw an isometric pictorial of the cube, you would see that the edges point toward 2 and 8 o’clock, 4 and 10 o’clock, and 6 and 12 o’clock. This idea helps when sketching isometric pictorials on writing surfaces that do not have isometric grids.
Isometrics are a common pictorial used both for concept sketches and to represent designs in technical drawings.
Conclusion
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages to using an isometric pictorial compared to using an oblique pictorial in technical drawings?
The advantages of isometric is that its equal measure and disadvantages is that it can sometimes not be the best to use compared to oblique
2. What is the difference between a two-dimensional sketch and an isometric sketch?
The differences between two dimensional sketches and isometric is that isometric need measures and two dimensional sketches don't
3. Why do designers use tonal shading?
Designers use tonal shading because they want to show depth in their drawings
