I’m my previous post, I shared how to draw a cycloid. The steps are almost the same but not the same ?. Now let’s look at how to draw an epicycloid. (NB: We also have hypocycloid) First, what is an Epicycloid? An epicycloid is the locus of a point on the circumference of a circle […]

As you go higher in technical drawing, one of the drawings you’ll come across is a cycloid. What is a cycloid? A cycloid is the oath of a point on the circumference of a circle rolling along a straight line. (Technical Drawing by JN Green) Take your time to watch the video below on how

Drawing of Archimedean spiral is one of the basic drawings in technical drawing you’ll come across in different levels of engineering drawing. However, the process of drawing an archimedean spiral is pretty straightforward. Most of the information you’ll need to draw an archimedean spiral is the pole, longest radius, and shortest radius. When you have

To draw a regular octagon, you need to know that an octagon has 8 sides. Since it’s a regular octagon, that means all the sides are equal. There are different methods of drawing a regular octagon in technical drawing. Interestingly, I’ll be showing you all the methods. You can decide to use your set square,

How to draw a circle in technical drawing can be very easy. But when it comes to dividing the circle into 5 equal parts, it can be a little different if you don’t understand how to go about it. However, the videos below will show you the different methods of dividing a circle into 5

In my previous post, I talked about how to draw a common internal tangent to two equal circles. This video will be the opposite as I’ll be showing you how to draw a common external tangent to two unequal circles. To make it easier, I’ve done a step-by-step video that will guide you on how

Drawing of a common internal tangent to two equal circles can be well understood using a video guide. To make it easier, I’ve done a step-by-step video that will guide you on how how to draw the circles, semi-circle, construct the line, and finally draw the tangent. Below is the video. If you have any

If you’re reading this post, that means you’re interested in knowing how to draw a tangent and normal to an ellipse and you probably know how to draw an ellipse itself. If not, kindly check my tutorial on how to draw an ellipse using any of the four methods shared. Once you know how to

Drawing an ellipse is very simple provided you understand the steps of how to draw an ellipse. Ellipse is a curved plane figure with curves. Based on the shape of the ellipse, we have the major axis which is the longer diameter, and the minor axis which is the shortest diameter of the ellipse. There
