I am curious how beholden you feel to your initial blobs. If you feel it is off to you iterate on your blob? Or is the point just to get something on the page?

I would say the blob is to be used as a helpful tool rather than something to be married to. It is probable that the initial blob isn't 'perfect,' so the moment you feel the blob is too inaccurate for your liking, adapt accordingly rather than be held prisoner to something that was just an estimation in the first place.

Here is my first attempt after learning how to draw isometric cubes.
https://youtu.be/7t4ycR3fXJ4?si=lXAMt_VYnaugiao9 I used this video to help me learn how to use the tools.
I picked 2 cm as the height of each cube then projected to the corner to find the width of each cube. Cleaned up initial drawing with a light box.
Side note vellum is very expensive and hard to find where I live.
I was intimidated by the idea of a light box but I bought the one in the image for less than a pack of vellum on amazon. It's LED and very thin.
People also use tablets as light boxes and there are guides online.

Thanks for sharing that link. Good to see we're in a worldwide club of learners.
And to thin that the new LED lightboxes are cheaper than a pad of vellum?! Who'd have thunk it?

If anyone else is like me and unsure how to start this video shows the basics of making an isometric cube with a tsquare and 60 30 triangle https://youtu.be/7t4ycR3fXJ4?si=lXAMt_VYnaugiao9
One challenge i had is that I can't flip my cheap plastic triangle well like he does in the video but you can rotate it to get 30 degrees in the opposite direction. As in my example pictures.

Thanks for sharing that link, and showing your transparent triangle. They may be less durable, but they are nicely transparent like good friends.

It kind of feels like this assignment came out too soon. You very briefly mentioned isometric perspective but I don't know the rules or angles to use.
I know the triangles are used but I don't know how. I see you stack them sometimes but the example is cut up so much I can't see what you are doing.
Not trying to be negative but this feels like I should go read about isometric perspective some where else before attempting this.
A demo on basic isometric cubes showing how to use the tools would help me alot.
I agree, I really thought that this course would have more demos in it. TBH I'm a bit disappointed with it so far, these little 10 min clips aren't really helping me sadly and I was excited for the course
Hi, there. I felt that it was a bit fast-paced too. So I slowed down the video and paused multiple times to get an idea for how to use the tools. Hope this helps!
