Context of Practice 3: Isometric Perspective and Why My Head Hurts

With each single image, I have had to trawel the internet for reference imagery. Even though the toys I have been drawing are alsmot four decades old, I have found many images to refer to. Helpfully, there are also many videos of collectors dissessembling the toys for repair and restoration.

Working completely within constraints of isometrics presented some interesting challanges. All the reference images I refered to had real-world perspective, meaning that, as one might expect, things are smaller when they are futher away. Isometric persepctives are consistent throughout, as the above .gif shows.

To work around this confusion I referred to models from Sketch Ups 3D Warehouse, and changed the settings to 'Parellel Perspective'. However as these have been prodcued by hobbiests, they often have errors in detail.
