ISOMETRIC SKETCH

An isometric sketch is a type of parallel projection that represents all three dimensions in a single image. Isometric sketches have a standard orientation that makes them particularly easy to sketch.

Creating Isometric Sketches: Steps

Step 1:
Isometric sketches begin with defining an isometric axis, which is made of three lines, one vertical and two drawn at 30 degrees from the horizontal. These three lines of the isometric axis represent the three primary dimensions of the object: width, height, and depth.

Step 2:
Begin the sketch by extending the isometric axes and then mark width, height and depth on the appropriate axes.

Step 3:
Draw the font face of the isometric block.

Step 4:
Draw the isometric block.

Step 5 & 6:
Add details to the block starting from the front face. Then add details to the other faces. Darken all visible lines to complete the isometric sketch. (make sure that construction lines are light)
