Oblique Projection

Here is another view of the multilink structure discussed in 3D Drawing.

Draw it in Oblique Projection - you may find using squared paper helpful.

Now try drawing it again, this time with a different face as the front.

Which properties of the original structure are preserved in your drawings, which are not?  You should think about:

• the relationship between the lengths of the edges of the cubes
• the angles between them
• parallel and perpendicular lines

What do you think the advantages of Oblique Perspective are?  What disadvantages are there with this method of representing 3D objects in 2D?
