1) Complete the following Line Practices on a single blank sheet of A4 paper. Continue on the other side if necessary.
(A) Warm up by drawing equal spacing parallel lines in different directions. (B) Warm up by drawing ‘light’ (thin) equal spacing parallel lines. Then gradually press harder on paper to produce ‘darker’ (thicker) lines in different directions. (C) Warm up by drawing lines starting with closer spacing parallel lines. As you move downwards, increase the spacing gradually. End with gradually closer parallel lines. (D) Warm up by drawing lines starting with closer spacing parallel lines and end with wider spacing parallel lines. (E) Warm up by drawing lines starting with wider spacing parallel lines and end with closer spacing parallel lines. (F) Have some fun by drawing rectangular blocks of various sizes. Tall. Short. Squashed. Narrow. Flat, etc. Remember to draw those lines the way you drew them from 1(A) to 1(E), i.e. locking the wrist and letting the pencil glide gracefully on the paper.

2) Now you will practice drawing 2-Dimensional (2D) shapes. These shapes will bring you to the next step where we will start transforming them into 3-Dimensional (3D) forms.
(A) Look at the different shapes above and draw the 5 of them in a new sheet of A4 paper. See image below for example. (B) Once you have completed the first row, repeat the same 5 shapes to the bottom of your A4 paper. For example:

3) Now you will practice drawing 3D forms. You will use the same 2D shape drawings you did in Page 2 and transform all of them into 3D Oblique Drawings. First, let’s understand how an oblique 3D drawing is done. 45° lines
Shaded 2D Rectangle
The shaded parts you see on the right are 2D rectangular blocks which you can draw easily. Next you may notice arrows coming out diagonally at 45° angle from each corner. These are oblique lines. An oblique 3D drawing is a 3D drawing with its 3rd dimension angled at 45°. Finally, the 3D form is completed by drawing the ‘back’ of the shape parallel to the 2D shape in front. Now the steps: 1. Draw a 2D shape. (e.g. a square) 2. Draw lines projecting 45° from each corner of the square. These lines can be diagonally upwards to the left, or to the right. Or to the bottom left or bottom right. See example above. 3. Complete the 3D form by drawing the back of the square. Check that those lines are parallel to the edge of the shape in front.
Now, we’ll come back to continue with the worksheet for question 3. (A) Use Page 2. By now you will have filled up the whole page with lots of geometric shapes. (B) Refer to the guide above to transform all the shapes into 3D forms. The 45° shall be pointing diagonally upwards to the right for this question. See the example on the RIGHT below.

4) On a new sheet of A4 paper (Page 3), (A) Fill up the whole A4 paper with 2D shapes just like in question (2B). If you find those shapes boring by now, you may draw your own shapes. But do not make them too complicated. (B) Follow the guide from question 3 to transform all the shapes into 3D forms. NOTE: The 45° shall be pointing diagonally upwards to the LEFT for this question. See the example on the right below.

5) You should be quite fast in transforming 2D shapes into Oblique 3D forms very quickly by now. Yes? Shall we do something fun for question 5. Rather than converting shapes to forms again, maybe we will start drawing real world objects that we encounter everyday. We will make Oblique drawings of a simple table and bench first. Then if you are confident enough, you can try a 2 more complicated chairs a TV console to finish off. If you still have some spare time, draw anything you like that you can find at home in Oblique. You need a new piece of A4 paper (Page 4) for question 5. Follow the steps provided to complete the following common household objects in Oblique drawing. (A) Follow the steps below to draw a simple oblique table as shown.
(B) Follow the steps below to draw a simple oblique bench as shown.
(C) Follow the steps below to draw a more complicated oblique chair as shown.
(D) Follow the steps below to draw a more oblique household objects as shown.
(E) If you finished all the exercises above, fill up on both sides of Page 4 with other household furniture in Oblique.
