Here is my first mechanical drawing using my T-square and my pencil. This is only a sample of what I remember from those two classes I had in school. This is what we had to setup to draw a shape. The bottom of sheet is where we put our names and the class and the teacher and what period we had the class. I wrote on this one as if I were working for some place and had a place for my name, the project name and the company I work for and the last column the date due for the project.
The white space above is where you would draw whatever you wanted to make. I just drew a basic square with a front view, top view and a side view. Most projects that we drew in class had to have three views for we were mainly learning the Multiview drawing style. Currently, and I will post tomorrow the first article about the history and a few other things about mechanical drawing. In the textbook that I reading there are questions at the end of the chapters, and I am answering those questions in the form of an article not just like doing homework if you know what I mean. Please share your thoughts for I am re-learning this skill too.

Introduction to My Mechanical drawing
While I am waiting for my T-square, protractor, triangles and other equipment to arrive for all that I will need to draw my interpretations of this art form. I was thinking of writing short lessons, or one may call them study guides pertaining to this subject. I bought a mechanical drawing textbook a long time ago when I first thought of this idea, but other things came along.

Ida shaghoian and the Inner Geography of Painting
In contemporary painting, the most compelling work often resists easy definition. It lingers, unfolds, and asks the viewer to participate emotionally rather than observe from a distance. Ida shaghoian belongs to this tradition. Her paintings explore the fluid relationship between memory, feeling, and the natural world, creating spaces that feel both deeply personal and widely resonant. Through a refined balance of abstraction and suggestion, her work challenges conventional ideas of place, time, and perception.

For this being your first one in a long time it’s a great illustration!
Oh this is so cool. Mechanical drawing, the type of drawing that communicates information to manufacturers. Seems like you can recall a lot from those classes. Answering questions from a text book in the form of an article is a good idea, keeps you writing and a good exercise for your brain. And if you enjoy it, we love it! ♥️
Nice one ✍️✏️🏆
