• When drafting objects freehand, care must be
  taken to draw accurately and neatly. Therefore,
  all lines should be drawn as a single linedo not
  shade any line.

• You will use two different lines to sketch
  objects

• Construction lines are light lines sketched in as
  you initially draw the object.

• Drawing lines are dark lines which may be used
  for the initial drawing or which may be created
  by neatly darkening a construction line.

• To draw an isometric object using the box method,
  perform the following steps

Step 1 Draw a box around the object you wish to
draw.

• Step 2 Draw a box on your paper, in the same
  proportions as the box you drew on the object, 1½
  to 2 times larger than
• the original box.

Step 3 Look at the front side of the object.
Which surface touches the outside of the box?
Step 4 Draw the surface on your box using

  lines then neatly cover the construction lines
  with drawing lines.

• To complete the Isometric Drawing Exercise,
  return to the Sketching and Freehand Drawing
  Fundamentals page, open up the Isometric Drawing
  Exercise page and print a copy of the exercise.
  Your task will be to draw nine isometric objects
  freehand, using the box method as demonstrated in
  this presentation.

• To complete the exercise, you may divide a piece
  of plain white paper (8? x 11) into four equal
  quadrants by lightly creasing the paper in half
  horizontally and also in half vertically. Each
  object can be sketched into its own quadrant.
  You will need three pieces of paper to complete
  the exercise.
