Another type of drawing is an oblique drawing. Compare the two oblique grids below.
Isometric drawings have no horizontal lines.
You can use an oblique grid to draw many different shapes. Here are some examples of simple shapes drawn using an oblique grid, and a large oblique grid to print out and use to create your own isometric drawings. If you draw on blank paper or tracing paper, you can remove the grid from beneath your drawing and the drawing will look much nicer than if you draw directly on the grid. Begin with simple shapes and then combine shapes to form more complex drawings.
