What is the difference between Orthographic and Isometric Drawings?

Orthographic drawings are 2D representations of the different views of an object(s). Take for instance the layout of a bedroom. Each wall would be drawn to scale with all the details of the windows, doors, trim etc.None of this would have shading, but may have color added to it to define the different aspects of what you are viewing Isometric drawings are meant to depict a 3D image of an object that is to be designed with the exception that this type of drawing is not truly done in perspective.

All vertical lines are parallel to one another, as are the 30 degree lines drawn diagonally up to the right and the 160 degree lines to the left. When drawn on a drafting board a 30/60/90 degree triangle is used. Notice how all the degrees add up to 180 These principles are usually taught in a drafting class, but may be taught in advanced art as well.

Orthographic views may be drawn out on a page to show top, front and side views of an isometric drawing that is also drawn on the page as well. This is a basic drafting design setup.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
