THICK
and THIN lines Lines making up simple
sketches are often shown all of the same thickness but for your
GRAPHICS and other D&T coursework you should 'show-you-know'
this method.
Start by drawing any simple shape. Use the 'crating'
or 'box' technique you have learned and used before.
Next
...think about each of the lines in turn .... if this were a real
object in front of you, would you be able to put your hand 'behind'
the line you are thinking about ?
For
instance the line that shows the top of the roof (marked
in blue)
helps represent a surface that would stop you from seeing your
hand if it were passed behind it. However the line
that helps represent the front of the 'flat roof' part of the
building (shown
in red)
wouldn't let you put a hand behind that surface. On the
lower drawing you can see the two different types of line.. A
and B
... Use THICK lines for those where your hand would be hidden
and THIN lines for those where you couldn't get your hand behind
the line.
Now
try and complete drawings like the ones shown below...Use THICK
and THIN lines as described in the text boxes above.
