Describe an oblique sketch and where they are used most often.

What will be an ideal response?


An oblique sketch is a type of pictorial drawing on which two or more surfaces are shown at one time on one drawing. The front face of the object is sketched in the same manner as the front view of either an orthographic sketch or a mechanical drawing. All of the straight, inclined, and curved lines on the front plane of the object will appear in their true size and shape on this front face. Because the other sides of the object are sketched at an angle, the surfaces and lines are not shown in their true size and shape. Oblique sketches are frequently used in cabinet making, woodworking, and construction.
