Drawing
The words of the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my
mechanism of thought. The psychical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are
certain signs and more or less clear images which can be “voluntarily” reproduced and
combined--this combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought before
there is any connection with logical construction in words or other kinds of signs which are
communicated to others
--Albert Einstein

1. Try to write a description of

2. Test your written description
by having someone attempt
to make a sketch or visualize
from your description.

A drawing can be created in 3 ways
Ways to Create an
Engineering Drawing
1. Freehand sketch
2. Using typical drawing instruments
3. Using a computer
Example
Create a Drawing : Freehand sketch
The lines are drawn using only pencil and erasers on a
blank or grid paper.
Pictorial sketch Orthographic sketch
Example
Create a Drawing : Using instruments
Drawing instruments are used to
draw straight lines, circles, and
curves concisely
concisely and accurately
accurately.
Drawings are usually made to scale

Example
Create a Drawing : Using a computer

Elements of a Drawing
A clear and precise engineering drawing requires both
graphics

word languages.
Graphics language
Describe a shape (mainly).
Word language

set of rules that govern how
technical drawings are represented.
Drawing standards are used so that drawings convey

Scale
Scale is a ratio between the linear dimension of a
drawn representation of an object and the actual object.
1 2
Designation of a scale consists of the word “SCALE”
followed by the indication of its ratio, as follows
SCALE 1:1 for full size
SCALE X:1 (X > 1) for an enlargement
enlargement scales
SCALE 1:X (X > 1) for a reduction
reduction scales
Drawing Scales : Designation
Drawing scale is commonly found in a title block.
Dimension numbers
Dimension numbers shown in the drawing represent
the “true size” of an object and they are independent of
the drawing scale used.
Drawing Scales : Notes
Standard reducing scales are
1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100
Drawing Scales : Standard scale
Standard enlarging scales are
2:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, 100:1

Space between the letters depends on the adjacent

Word having non-uniform spacing is more readable.
Word Composition
Contour
DRAWING
Contour can be denoted as “straight”, “slant” and “curve”.
Adjacent contour can be
1. straight-straight : II, IN, IM, IP etc.
2. straight-curve (or curve-straight) : IO, QR etc.
3. straight-slant (or slant-straight) : IV, IW etc.
4. curve-curve : OO, OG etc.
5. slant-curve (or curve-slant) : VO, WG, VC etc.
6. slant-slant : VW, VX etc.
Spacing
Leave the space between words equal to the space
requires for writing a letter “O”.
