Important Aspects to Consider when Hand Drafting
- Line Quality – Sharpness, blackness & appropriate weight.
- Crisp Corners – Corners should be met but without excessive overlap.
- Drawing order – the typical set up for laying out an orthographic drawing is the following:
- Lightly block out the major horizontal and vertical lines
- Fill in the secondary lines
- Heavy up the final lines, keeping mind the proper line weight at each time.
Note: the final drawing could be created on top of sketches / construction line drawings in effort to keep final work clean and eraser-free
