Watch a video to learn how to draw orthogonal projections
Look at the steps to draw the block in orthogonal projection
Do a drawing exercise to develop your skills of orthogonal projection
- Here you can see an orthogonal drawing of a bicycle. It shows the front, top and side view.
See how the views are lined up.

3.Look at the steps below to see how you would draw this block in orthogonal projection.
3.Look at the steps below to see how you would draw this block in orthogonal projection.
In orthogonal drawing we use projection lines. Projection lines are very LIGHT greylead pencil lines that we use to guide our drawing.
Step 1: Decide which is the front, side and top view.
Step 2: Draw the front view in the bottom left corner
Step 3: Draw VERTICAL projection lines up from the corners
Step 4: Draw the top view 4cm above the front view.
Step 5: Draw a horizontal projection line from the top of the front view.
Draw a 45 degree line.
Step 6: Draw horizontal projection lines across from the top view. Stop at the 45 degree line.
Step 7: Draw vertical projection lines down from the 45 degree line.
Draw horizontal lines from the front view.
Step 8: Use the projection lines to draw the side view.
Drawing exercise
Drawing exercise
Option 1: Draw the matchbox in orthogonal projection.
Option 1: Draw the matchbox in orthogonal projection.
Use the skills shown in the video to help you do an orthogonal sketch of the matchbox or the block below.
Option 2: Draw the block in orthogonal projection.
Option 2: Draw the block in orthogonal projection.
