Practice isometric drawing of basic 3D forms such as cube, cylinder, pyramid, prism, and cone using three axes and oblique cuts to create architectural shapes.
Ideate a form by merging two pyramids with three levels on the first and two on the second, extruding a square base, connected by a bridge in isometric view.
Ideate an architectural form from an octagon by extruding two cubes into connected volumes, creating an oblique octagon and a bridge, then add floors, windows, and render with light.
Design an architectural form by drawing a cylinder with an oblique cut from a cube and circle, using isometric projection and rendering with markers.
Unlock your creative potential and explore the fundamentals of architectural form design in this comprehensive, 3+ hour course. Designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike, this course guides you through the essential process of creating architectural forms using basic geometric shapes — including cylinders, prisms, pyramids, and more.
