Drawing
 Describing any object/information diagrammatically.
 A graphical representation of an idea, a concept or an entity which actually or potentially exists in
life.
 Types of Drawing:
1. Artistic Drawing
2. Technical/Engineering Drawing

 Artistic Drawing:
Used to express the feelings, beliefs, philosophies or abstract ideas of the artist. Sometimes difficult
to understand what is being communicated.
Drawing
Engineering Drawing:
Clearly and concisely communicating all of the information necessary to transform an idea or a
concept to reality. Engineering drawing of an object should contain all information like actual shape,
accurate size etc.
Universal language for engineers
Drawing is important for all branches of engineering
An engineering drawing is worth a thousand words
Drawings are the road maps which show how to build/manufacture structures and products.

Manual Drawing CAD (Computer Aided Drawing)

Computer has a major impact for the creation of technical drawings. Design and drafting on
computer are cheap and less time consuming.
Drawing
Why we go for manual drawing?
1. Computer cannot replace the drafting board and equipment as a learning tool.
2. Once you have learned the basics of mathematics, you are allowed the use of calculator and
computer.
3. If basic fundamentals are clear better use can be made by the power of the software.
4. To be an expert in technical drawing this course on Engineering Drawing (Manual) is the first
step.
Lettering
 Lettering is drawing, not writing.
 An engineering drawing should provide dimensions and specifications to communicate how the
part is to be made.
 To eliminate errors, these notes must contain words made of uniform letters that are neat and
easy to read.
 Use 2H pencil to draw grid.
 Use HB pencil to lettering.
Lettering
Guidelines:
 All letters and numerals should write in a grid of 6 unit heights.
 The width of letters and numerals:
 Letter I or the numeral 1 has no width.
 Letter W is 8 units wide.
 TOMQVAXY are 6 units wide.
 All the letters and numerals are 5 units wide.
 Spacing of letters should be 2 units.
 Letters in words are not placed at equal distances from each other, they are placed so that the
spaces between letters look equal.
 The distance between words, called word spacing, should be equal to the height of the letter.
