  • Oblique drawing

This is also a pictorial method of drawing, in oblique projection, the object is drawn with one of its faces true to dimensions i.e. a face is parallel to its horizontal plane. The receding lines (oblique lines) may be drawn at angle 30o, 45o, or 60o, but 45o is mostly used. One disadvantage of oblique drawing is that it distorts the drawing and can never look natural. Therefore in order to prevent this distortion, the receding axes (widths) are usually drawn half-size.

Method of Oblique Projection

Cavalier  oblique  projection: In this projection the receding axes (width) are drawn half-size to reduce distortion, but they are dimension-ed full size. This was used to draw furniture i.e. cabinets.
