Module One, How to Draw a Croissant, focused on the processes involved in producing a set of hand drawn orthographic and axonometric drawings.
​
All drawings were completed using graphite pencil and technical pens. For the editing of photographs and layout a combination of Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator were used.
​
How to Draw a Croissant was created in 2017 for a first year Bachelor of Design subject.
The final set of orthographic drawings are composed of two layers.
The first layer was completed using technical pens, varying thicknesses for dimension lines, and graphite pencil for the croissant and section outlines; the lighter the pencil line the further away the object.
​
Hatching (plan) and shading (short and long elevations) techniques were used to show depth in the second layer.
When all separate drawings were layered and aligned on InDesign, the final drawings
were achieved (below).
Through the use of the orthographic croissant plans and sections, an axonometric drawing was created. The drawings, left, show the steps involved.
​
Each section was outlined on a grid (far left) and transferred on top of the plan at a 45 degree angle, with each section aligning to the corresponding cut lines (left). From here the outline of the croissant was traced to form the drawing below.
