Course Program
Learning plan
Block 1: Introduction
In the first week, you’ll learn what types of isometric objects are used in games. We’ll go over simple forms and grids — the foundation you’ll need for further progress. You’ll learn how to build a scene with an isometric grid, which simplifies complex shapes and boosts your confidence for real projects.
Topics: Overview, grid creation, shapes, sketching by hand using the grid
Block 2: Concept Development
In this section, you'll learn how to develop isometric concepts. We'll discuss how to use references and structure your ideas. You'll understand how to transform real-world objects into stylized ones and what to consider when designing new shapes. This will help you create cool and original projects in the future.
Topics: Idea Generation, Form and Design, Casual Stylization, Concept Development
Block 3: Casual Color
You'll learn how color influences the character of an image and master the basics of color harmony. We'll explore how to choose the right palette and how to work with pure colors in shadows and highlights. Through hands-on practice, you'll strengthen your color skills and learn to use references and associative palettes to achieve expressiveness in an image.
Topics: Color Wheel and Palettes, Working with Casual Color, Concept in Color
Block 4: Lighting and Tone
In this step, we'll dive into working with lighting and volume. You'll learn how to set up lighting at different angles. We'll work on tone and understand cast shadows. You'll also be reinforcing the theory, focusing on light and shadow, right from the first stage of rendering your house! ❤️
Topics: Lighting Types, Occlusion and Form, Initial Rendering and General Volumes
Block 5: Materials
It's time to continue working on the render, adding textures and polishing our house. You'll learn how to apply casual textures, work on ambient occlusion, and improve lighting and contrast. This will help make your work more vibrant and expressive.
Topics: Materials, Casual Textures, Finalizing
Block 6: Final Project
In this part of the course, you'll dive into your thesis. We'll discuss why project design is so important for your portfolio and personal satisfaction. We'll create an attractive design with a thematic theme and a description of your work. We'll also show you how to create a presentation for ArtStation or Behance so your work looks professional and attracts attention. 😊
Topics: The Role of Presentation, Portfolio Style, Project Design, Creating a Cover for Platforms

The “Isometric Workshop” was my first serious project - not only in isometry but in game art in general. I was surprised how quickly I managed to reach a satisfying result, even though choosing the right design decisions wasn’t always easy. Much of my success came from my fantastic mentor, Ekaterina!

I had never tried drawing in isometric view before and was scared at first - but this course turned that fear into excitement! We started with simple shapes and gradually built up to a full scene. Everything was explained clearly, and the feedback was amazing. Highly recommend this course, especially if you’ve been afraid to start!
