There are different methods of drawing a parabola in Technical drawing depending on the parameters given. When the span and height of the parabola are given, there is a method to use, when the parabola and directrix are given, the method is different from the former. However, to give a full knowledge and understanding of […]

Want to know how to draw a helix? First, let’s understand what is a helix. According to technical drawing by JN Green, it defines helix as a path of a point moving round a cylinder and at the same time axially with the ratio of the two movements constant. Here is a step-by-step video tutorial
If you want to know how to draw a tangent and normal to an involute, there is a high that you already know how to an involute itself. If not, I’ve shared a step-by-step tutorial on how to draw an involute. Here is the video tutorial on how to draw a tangent and normal to

Hypocycloid is one of the major types of cycloids you’ll come across in technical drawing. The step-by-step process of drawing a hypocycloid is almost similar to other cycloids however it has some slight differences. To make it easier, I’ve done a video guide that will help you understand the process of drawing a perfect Hypocycloid.
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
