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.

• 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?
