Single Point Perspective :
Perspective drawing is a good style to use when drawing in 3D. There are different styles including single point and two point perspective. The basic example below shows how to construct a simple single point perspective drawing of a cube. Using the same skills more complex drawings/designs can be drawn, after a little practice

Two Point Perspective:
Perspective is a realistic way of drawing objects in 3D. We have already looked at single point perspective, two point perspective using two vanishing points and when an object is drawn in this way it is even more realistic than if it were to be drawn with a single. Two vanishing points gives this 'feel' to a drawing
Oblique Drawing:
Oblique projection is a method of drawing objects in 3 dimensions. It is quite a simple technique compared to isometric or even perspective drawing. However, to draw accurately in oblique projection traditional drawing equipment is needed.
To draw it correctly in oblique projection three main rules must be followed:
1. Draw the front or side view of the object.
2. All measurements drawn backwards are half the original measurement.
3. 45 degrees is the angle for all lines drawn backwards

Isometric Drawing:
Isometric drawing is way of presenting designs/drawings in three dimensions. The example below has been drawn with a 30 degree set square. Designs are always drawn at 30 degrees in isometric projection. It is vital that drawing equipment such as T-squares and 30/60 degree set squares are used carefully. The drawing paper should be clip securely to a drawing board.
