Representation of Objects Product Sketching:
by Product sketching or Object drawing is essential for the representation of 3D objects.
Prof. K. Ramachandran
IDC, IIT Bombay It is a 2D representation of a 3D object or objects for the purpose of communication of a designer’s visualization.
It may utilize various media ranging from pencils, pastels to sketch pens, markers and digital media such as pho-
toshop, as elucidated in Figs: 1, 2 & 3 below.

Prof. K. Ramachandran skills to improve the quality of line drawing
IDC, IIT Bombay • Drawing in perspective, i.e. one point and two point perspectives
• Drawing by looking at objects in correct perspective and proportions
• Drawing objects from memory with correct perspective and proportions
• Drawing of shadows for objects
• Drawing of highlights for objects

Exercise 1:
Improving line quality and control over the pressure applied while drawing.

Posture Tip:
Make use of your full hand as well as your body movements to draw the line.
• Draw a straight line across the sheet.

Perspective
Product Drawing
Representation of Objects Understanding perspective is essential to be able to represent three-dimensional objects with correct propor-
by tions, which are more realistic and ‘true’ to the eye. One basic difference between isometric product drawings
Prof. K. Ramachandran and product sketching is the visual effect of depth that is achieved through foreshortening.
IDC, IIT Bombay
What is foreshortening?
Foreshortening is distortion due to perspective when an object appears compressed when seen from any par-
ticular viewpoint.

What is Vanishing Point (VP)?

Source: Due to foreshortening, if we were to extend these lines of taper, there would appear a point where these lines
[Link] seem to emerge from, this point is called the vanishing point (VP), as elucidated in Fig. 11.

For more clarity on the vanishing point, hold an object in front of your eyes, and gradually move it away towards
your left and then to your right, up and then down and notice that beyond your cone of vision, this object vanish-
es. This perimeter region, beyond which the object vanishes from your view, is where the vanishing pointslie.

Shadows
Product Drawing
Representation of Objects Shadows help make your sketches ‘pop-up’ from their backgrounds, and seem more real. It is important to under-
by stand light in order to understand shadows. It is best to begin with shadows of objects with single light sources.
Prof. K. Ramachandran
IDC, IIT Bombay The simplest way to trace a shadow is to draw straight lines starting from the assumed source of light/lights to
the edges or corner most points of your product, extending it beyond to fall onto the surface or ground on which
the product is kept. In case of complex objects, shadows may be cast onto the same product surface and follow
the profile of the surface. Thus, shadows also enhance the overall sketch giving more information of the surface
it falls on, be it the ground, or on itself.
