About this course

This course teaches isometric illustration from the grid up: the 30-degree construction method, the SSR Action and Figma plugin workflows, and a three-value shading system that reads as 3D. You will draw furniture, a workstation, and a small city block, then assemble a finished tech-explainer scene. Every technique is shown with exact angles, scale ratios, and named tools so your results stay sharp and repeatable.
