Engineering Drawing
Engineering drawing is a skill based course where students will learn the basics of technical drawing. In this regard, the academic materials in this database are a compilation of tips and tricks on how to approach several drawing problems. Here are some available online references that completely discuss the different aspects of engineering drawing.
Cleaning Rotring Technical Pen
Before you begin your drawing experience, you must first understand how to properly take care of your technical pen. One of the most common technical pens in the market is the rotring brand. Here is a link to see how to clean your rotring pen.
Note: Due to the vast variety of available technical pens, it is still wise to refer to the product’s own documentation. Moreover, there are other available resources in which you can learn how to clean your specific type of technical pen.
Ink Refill Tutorial
Technical pens are often refillable to avoid unwanted spillage and to ensure that the pen is not clogged. In this video tutorial, you will learn how to properly refill your ink in your rotring pen.
Note: Due to the vast variety of available technical pens, it is still wise to refer to the product’s own documentation. Moreover, there are other available resources in which you can learn how to refill your specific type of technical pen.
Introduction
If you are a beginner in engineering drawing, you first must appreciate how the different concepts are applied in a drawing. This video will briefly show you what you will expect in engineering drawing.
The following video aims to summarize the concepts to make the discussion understandable. The video also depicts some of the common materials used in fabricating your own drawing.
To fully understand the basics of engineering drawing, the following links might be a helpful resource.
Technical Lettering
Technical lettering is one of the basic engineering drawing skills we must learn. The lettering styles helps us create legible labels and enhances our stroke of lines. In this video, you will be introduced to the principles of lettering.
This video aims to help you have a visual example on how to practice lettering. The video further explains the different strokes to form the letter.
There are various types of lettering used in engineering. This link aims to showcase some of the different types of lettering.
Lines
Lines are important in engineering drawing because they help represent the various aspects of your drawing. These lines have different types to differentiate one line from another. This video explains what lines are and their various types.
This video provides a guide to the types of lines and their applications in engineering drawing.
If you want to see further explanations about the various types of lines, you may refer to the following articles.
Tiles
Some typical practice exercises to enhance your strokes for lines is through the creation of Tiles. This link will redirect you to a sample tile to practice your skills in engineering drawing.
Circles
Drawing circles is one of the hardest skills you need to master. Circles may be drawn using a compass however, there are some tips on how to draw circles and ellipses even without one. This link will discuss some of these techniques and tips.
