1. Oblique pictorials depict three-dimensional objects using angled parallel lines to represent depth at oblique angles, most commonly 45 degrees. 2. There are three types of oblique pictorials: oblique cavalier shows full depth, oblique cabinet shows half depth, and general oblique does not specify depth. 3. Oblique pictorials provide realistic side views of objects compared to other projection methods while maintaining correct dimensions on the front plane.

Oblique Pictorials

Oblique Pictorials
An Oblique pictorial starts
with a straight-on view of
one of the object’s faces,
45°
which is often the front
face.
Angled, parallel lines are 45°
drawn to one side to 45°
represent the object’s
depth. The most common
oblique angle is 45°. But
30°and 60° is used also.
Three questions
• What is a cube?
• Is object 1 or object 2 the cube?
• If object 1 and object 2 have a height and width of 5 inches what
would you estimate the depth to be?

Oblique Pictorials
There are three types of oblique pictorials:
The differences are the depth
1. Oblique Cavalier – full depth
2. Oblique Cabinet – half depth
3. General Oblique – depth doesn’t matter
– Height and width of the front face matter the most.
Types of Oblique Drawings
Oblique Cavalier

Together: 5 unit cube with 45 degree depth lines

1. A cube in oblique cavalier with a front, top and


right view
2. A cube in oblique cabinet with a front, top and
right view
3. A cube in oblique cabinet with a front, top and left
view
4. A cube in general oblique with small depth lines
and a front, top and right view

and a front, top and right view
Draw an oblique Cavalier and an
oblique Cabinet
1. Draw a cube with length of 4 units, 30° depth
lines, in cavalier (together)
2. Draw a cube with length of 6 units, 60° depth
lines, in cabinet (together)
3. Draw a cube with length of 7 units, 30° depth
lines, in cabinet (by yourself)

3. General Oblique – depth doesn’t matter
Height and width matter on the front face
Pros of Cavalier and Cabinet

1. Cavalier has all dimensions correctly


measured.

2. Cabinet looks more realistic.


Strategy for Advanced Oblique
Sketches
1. Draw the front most face, then draw the
depth for that face.
2. Draw the next front most face. Then
draw the depth for that face.
3. Continue the process until the sketch is
complete.
