Isometric perspective drawing

Isometric perspective drawing is one (of the multiple) representation systems used to represent three-dimensional objects in two-dimensions.

Isometric comes from the Greek and means equal, and this system is called isometric because it represents the 3 axis (x,y,z) equally foreshortened and the angle between any two of them is 120 degrees.

In order to create isometric drawings you are going to need:

• Isometric dot paper.
• Isometric grid paper.

This is a nice video that introduces you to isometric drawing.

This other video tells you how to create Isometric Alphabet Letters.

The following video shows how to draw 3D objects using grid paper.

Illuminations is a nice drawing tool for isometric drawings.

Now we are going to practice with these exercises I found on the web:

Exercise 1

Exercise 2

Exercise 3

And to finish the class, you can play this game to count cubes.
