 In case my scribblings are too hard to figure out: Pretty much all isometry is based on the cube. An igloo is basically a hemisphere with a cylinder for a door. 1) Define the bottom circle and top bit (2nd image in pink) And isometric circle is twice as wide as it is tall. 2) draw a (normal) circle whose top matches the top isometric circle and whose diameter is bisected by the corners of the iso square. 3) Construct door 4) Erase construction lines 5) Pretty it up |

Not trying how to tell the new guy how to do his job, but technically this should be moved to WIPs now. Just sayin'.  -------------  "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso

Not removed. Just moved to the Work In Progress (WIP) section. The WIP section is used to get help with your art. This section is for help with technical stuff like software, generic pixelart topics. *I am moving your thread there  ------------- |

yes i was keeping the space between the rings the same size . i need to make two sets i think like the midway bricks and the bricks bleow because like a wall the bricks stagger. so i think need to rotate the brick intersection lines with a cicle as in the example. then do another were the midsection land in the halfway point. I know thats badly written i hope it makes sense . |

i think this method should work as i have not completed the top section properly. but i think the mid section and bottom section is the closest so far i have attempted. ok cheers http://bobafet1000.deviantart.com/art/iglooo-closest-so-far-182857198 // still not 100 percent correct though |
