Techniques
Technical illustration uses several basic mechanical drawing configurations called axonometric projection. These are:
- Parallel projections (oblique, planometric, isometric, dimetric, and trimetric), and
- many types of perspective projections (with one, two, or three vanishing points).
Technical illustration and computer-aided design can also use 3D and solidbody projections, such as rapid prototyping.
- In the natural sciences, "scientific illustration" refers to a style of drawing using stippling and simple line techniques to convey information with a minimum of artistic interpretation.

Famous quotes containing the word techniques:
“It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
