  • Oh, and also, all the information in your CV that you also painstakingly rewrote into our forms, is going to be spread around to other companies who will use it to send you spam and phishing messages.

    Good luck with your future endeavours of staying sane with others trying to get money out of you, that you don’t have.

    Toxic can be used to refer to something that will slowly damage the body in some way.
    e.g. tobacco smoke, which doesn’t kill you right away, but slowly turns you into a zombie, by destroying your mental ability and cause faster ageing.
    Another, is Lead (Pb), which lead to the destruction of the Roman empire.

    Yeah. In my case, the thumbnails from mander.xyz posts don’t show up because the web UI I use, requests the picture converted to a webp format, which mander’s server doesn’t understand (the request).

    So, in case I want to see the picture, I have to get the link and open it separately and remove the extra query part, to see the image. Or I could the inspector tool to change the URL value inline.








  • Ah right, I should have said that too: don’t care about the dimensions. Just make a shape similar to that, which can be done using the vertices/dots in the provided paper (otherwise the print will be useless for the purpose of making the learning process easier).

    You are just trying to learn how to draw nicely, right? You don’t really need to care about properly matching some random example I casually picked off google images. You can change the dimensions at will as long as you understand what you are doing.


  • Essentially how that works.

    At least in this case, you are using the same basics over and over again.
    What to put where, is your imagination. The first 2 steps just explain how to put the stuff there. And since I recommended an eraser, I would expect you to know to use it when it comes to the point.
    Since you desire to git gud at drawing, I would expect you to be good at imagining, which is the prerequisite.

    So yeah. I this case, the rest of the owl is the same as the first circle and ellipse.

    Oh and ignore the shadows. That comes in a completely different territory. You will need to learn shading, first. I’d never bother with that and just use a CAD software.


    • Print one this, or something like this
    • Get a scale/ruler, a pencil and an eraser
    • Use the above to draw, first a this and then a this
    • Then imagine and draw stuff like this

    The last one is not true isometric, but has a perspective. But you can make similar good looking stuff in isometric too.
    To do perspective, you can’t use the Printed isometric line/dot paper.
    Instead, it has an additional step of choosing the infinity points and making your own lines for it.


    I tried to find a good instructions page, but unfortunately, search engines just prefer YouTube videos (which I don’t like to recommend).

    Either way, this is one method that lets you git gud pretty fast, albeit in a different drawing form.


    Another thing: The last example picture I showed, has circles and semi circles. Avoid those in your drawing at this stage. That requires you to learn an extra method.
