Drawing
cavities in objects
|
Some students when they first start to draw using a 3D system, whether it's isometric, perspective or oblique, do not stick to the system due to their lack of understanding of how to represent objects. One circumstance in which students produce incorrect drawings is when they draw circles, this has been covered. Another circumstance where students make mistakes, showing a lack of special awareness, is when they draw spaces in objects (such as a cupboard space or a drawer). Many students draw cupboards like this. |

This is supposed to be in one point perspective. Note how the cupboard space doesn't vanish into the distance the rest of the cupboard, but instead vanishes to its own vanishing point. | ||||||||
|
This view could mean one of two things. |

 |
Either their is a 'pyramidal' shape sticking out of the cupboard or the 'pyramidal' shape has been removed from the cupboard to create the space. But the space is definitely not the cubic space intended. | ||||||||

When you draw a space in an object you are removing a volume so you should draw that volume and then ink in the bit you see. See the examples below |
