3D Box Drawing Techniques

In this tutorial, Michael from drawingteachers.com guides viewers through drawing a 3D box using orthographic projection. The lesson covers drawing a rectangle, ensuring parallel lines, and shading techniques based on a light source. It also explains ambient occlusion and how shadows are cast, providing a comprehensive understanding of creating a realistic 3D box without perspective.

What is the first step in drawing a 3D box?

• Drawing a line

• Drawing a triangle

• Drawing a square or rectangle

• Drawing a circle

Why is it important for the lines to be parallel when drawing a 3D box?

• To prevent the box from looking distorted

• To ensure the box looks realistic

• To make the box look smaller

• To make the box look colorful

What type of projection is used when lines do not converge to a point on the horizon?

• Perspective projection

• Orthographic projection

• Isometric projection

• Oblique projection

How do you determine which part of the box will be darker when shading?

• By the size of the box

• By the material of the box

• By the color of the box

• By the position of the light source

What is the term for light getting trapped in corners, affecting shading?

• Ambient occlusion

• Specular reflection

• Diffuse reflection

• Direct lighting

Where is ambient occlusion most noticeable?

• On the ceiling

• In the corners of a room

• In the center of the room

• On flat surfaces

What determines the length of the shadow cast by the box?

• The material of the box

• The size of the box

• The angle of the light

• The color of the box

What happens to the shadow when the light source is directly above the box?

• The shadow changes color

• The shadow becomes longer

• The shadow becomes shorter

• The shadow disappears

What is the effect of ambient occlusion on the area where the box touches the floor?

• It becomes darker

• It becomes lighter

• It changes color

• It becomes transparent

What is the primary focus of this lesson?

• Drawing a 3D sphere

• Drawing a 3D box with perspective

• Drawing a 2D box

• Drawing a 3D box with orthographic projection
