Isometric art = Instant gratification

2017/02/02

So the other day I found the YouTube channel Sephiroth Art which has amazing time-lapses for isometric art and it’s so cool, I just have to share it! The person who paints, creates little universes, even if it’s just a single object like a treasure chest. But I especially admire the ones that are full scale scenes.

Please have a look:

So pretty, isn’t it?!
And because I’m a sucker for shiny things, I wanted to try it, too.

Of course I am nowhere nearly as experienced, but I am having a lot of fun with drawing tiny things in a somewhat fixed perspective. I didn’t use a grid for the mirror image, because I was having internet troubles, but I did use one for the lantern picture. Despite the grid, I did mess up some measurements, so I had to fix a few things after having been mostly done….

Isometric art is such a cute thing to do and I want to do more in the future for sure. It’s playing into my desire for instant gratification, because it can be done in just a few hours, the angles are set and I can concentrate on lighting and texture more.

On a different note, I’m stuck with my Shiva drawing:

The body decoration is trying my patience and I really have none of that right now. I’ll finish it but maybe not this week. Shame on me. However, I will hopefully update “Embers to Stars” again on Friday. ^^)

That’s it for this time!
