- ISOMETRIC ART: detailed MAGICAL HOME illustration process [painted in PROCREATE]
In this isometric illustration process, I wanted to design a cozy home for this witch. It's also a hangout spot for her friend. I had a lot of fun putting together all the details in this piece and I really loved using this new procreate brush to experiment with this storybook style that I've been doing lately.
If you have any questions please write them in the comments section, I reply to a LOT of comments on this channel every day so don't be a stranger.🐻

Damn, he told us the whole story of the young witch and her bear buddy basically just through his drawing. As every single details matters in some way, and every single tiny thing has it's own logical explanation, why it's there. It's just amaze me, how much attention and care he put in there...
This kind of "watercolor" style is definitely my favorite from you. I absolutely adored that Bear by the Bridge illustration you did and became so inspired after that. And now once again, I am inspired to try my hand at an isometric piece! Never tried it before as it always seemed a bit intimidating to me, but I'll never learn if I don't do it! ☺️
I recommend starting small and not having a grid or guides on at the planning phase because they can easily limit the drawing into boxy shapes. Once you have enough of the lines done it gets really fun to tinker with the small diorama you’ve created. Highly recommend giving it a go but just be prepared for a longer project than usual.
Can't explain why but whenever I feel unmotivated Mikko's videos immediately put me in the right mood to draw, paint, do a study, start a new piece or finish that one that I've been dragging forever.
Your artwork is just beautiful! I can't explain the cozy calming feeling I get from all of your drawings. I really love the little rat btw 🐭
The foundation of this whole drawing☝️😂
Thanks
It's so relaxing just listening to your process and even you coming up with the story behind the characters that you've painted. Ty as always Mikko
It’s strange how the objects seem like puzzle pieces in an illustration like this. Once you find the place they fit there’s no other way it could have been done.
I didn’t feel like I had to come up with the story elements. I just looked at what was already there.
Your visual and auditory narration of this story made me smile so much.
your ability to imagine is a gift! love the story!
I love how happy you are during this it’s adorable and really shows how much this makes you happy please keep following your passions I absolutely loved this it makes me feel warm I’ve always loved fantasy worlds and art with plants❤️❤️
Its so cute, I love the story about the bear and his cooking.
Just beautiful! I was a bit obsessed with doll houses and magical interiors when I was a kid, and this piece reminds me of those 💗
I stumbled upon this gem and got a boost in serotonin 😊. Thank you Mikko, may the algorithm bliss many to get your videos recommended to them 🙏
Amazing!!!🤩 thank you so much for showing us how to push isometric drawing to it limits.
I love your mouse. Very essential to the process!
Cartoonish and realistic = lovely 😍
I’m leaning more towards storybookism even though that’s not a thing 🧐
that Illustration is beautiful! I´m so impressed 😲😍
I feel like am lucky to find an artist like you. Besides loving your art style, fantasy characters, etc; also I can listen to your design process as well as learning a lot of things all at once! Thanks for your videos.
Thank you so much @angrymikko for sharing this video. I love isometric illustration and I always wanted to learn but haven't been able to put the time and focus on it. This video is a great (and beautiful) example of how cool isometric can be! :) thank you so much and please keep doing great work! :)
This has definitely inspired; been meaning to jump on the Isometric bandwagon for a while now. Thank you for all the great tips!
Really love the wonderful backstory, and I also have the same habit of giving love and care to the tiniest details in a painting, as you have done with the sweet little rat 🐭💕
The real star of the show. (Sorry to the excited actual star in the same piece)
Thank you so much for all of your art, your video and your views. It always inspired me to never stop learning. I strive to be like you 1 day. Thank you again.
You nail it EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have such a long way to go😢
It is extremely inspiring! What i loved the most is actually hearing how you developed the story with some objects, and not guessing myself.
Creativity is often like improv. You should always follow up with yes and rather than shoot down the ideas that pop up. Creativity is not dumb, it will take the hint when it keeps getting signals that it’s not appreciated.
I like the rat, it feels like the witch is open to sharing her space with nature
I love that storytelling is at the forefront of this piece, the isometric illustration allows it to come through so well! How often do you start a piece like this with a traditional medium, and what does the process look like of scanning it into procreate? Thank you so much!
I'm just watching videos of people drawing different rooms for inspiration and ideas, as i want to draw the room one of my characters lives in at a certain part in the story. and i totally agree with what you said 10:03.
i'm in fact designing her room because i want it to give me and my friends a clearer idea of who she is. i want her personality to shine through. because i feel like drawing it will give me a better feel to her, as a story teller and an artist. designing a characters living space is intimidating, but also cool, because you can develop their personality and quirks if you do. it's one of the big reasons i want to draw her apartment.
it's gonna be time consuming, but i really like her and want to develop her further and make sure i know her better. it's hard to explain, but i know if i can create a room that feels like hers at that point in the story, i know i can realize more about her character as well and know her better. thank you for the inspiration! and sorry for the long comment. i loved your illustration, subscribed :)
This looks amazing! It almost looks like it could be a scene in a point-and-click adventure game. I'd play it.
As an author myself, I've had the same experience as you have: the world and the space can inform the story and make the story come alive. I like sketching out scenes sometimes if the scene feels too flat, and usually, I have an insight that I would have never had otherwise.
I just a day or two ago wondered if I should try isometric drawing for spaces (mainly to make them easier to remember and as I'm writing a series), and now this wonderful video from you got me convinced I should try.
I do love the bear and the whole story of this picture, and yes, the mouse is very important.
wow! this video compiles everything you wanna hear and watch from the artist process when creating a piece! Looove it Mikko!
This is amazing and so adorable. I love the story you telling while painting details. It makes this art piece interesting and fun to spot on each details more closely.
I really enjoy every piece you make but this one might be my fave, its so dreamy and calming ! I love it
Pure magic, I love it!
I love, love, love your artwork! The way you describe why the bear is sitting in the chair reading a cookbook, etc. Your details are eye-candy & I want to search for every single item in the room & imagine the story behind it. The colours are gorgeous too. You inspire me greatly and watching your video took my busy, brain away from my problems to feast my eyes on your very magical, detailed house. Thank you, now I’m inspired to try this :)
Thank you so much 🐻 After a certain amount of clues it seemed like I didn't have to struggle with what to draw because the drawing kind of already told me everything it needs. Wish all processes were like this really =)
I am in love with this illustration our wedding is tomorrow and you're all invited
tht was BEAUTIFUL!!
Mikko your process is pure genious. the story narrative was absolutely enchanting and left me wanting more. I often wonder about your layers...how many you might have in this (and other projects) but I really just love seeing you create and listening to you.
The number of layers doesn’t matter because it would only be beneficial to you if I explained the function of each one as I’m making them and why I’m merging them.
Using that number would also lead to workflow bottlenecks because I’m always working at the edge of my hardware capabilities. It’s only possible because of my experience with how to manage my layers. I would recommend having at least 20 extra layers available when you’re starting and as you get better at knowing how many you need you can slowly start getting closer to the edge of what your device is capable of.
In some of my paintings I need only 3 layers and I’m using all of the extra ram for resolution. In other cases the style itself requires a large number of layers like my graphic pieces.
I could do a tutorial on this principle but in my experience those videos aren’t really worth making because people want concrete numbers to follow instead of theory. In these cases yt isn’t the best platform for information because the viewer preferences dictate what we content creators make.
I know this wasn’t the answer you probably were looking for but it’s an honest one.
There’s also a 1hr 55min version of this process on my membership library but I have to underline that those decisions are specific to the needs of this piece and I can’t in good conscience market those videos as an example of how all of my illustrations are made.
Wow, these art pieces are absolutely phenomenal, you do such an amazing job thanks for sharing your talent with the world
unbelievably beautiful..
Just wanted to let you know, that your channel and your work isn‘t just inspiring and motivating but also soothing and so positive.
Even my non computer graphics GF likes to watch your videos and wants to have an own iPad, once we can afford it.
I hope some day, we can support you doing what you do.
You definitely are working in the happy business. And we need you to be able to keep doing it. Makes the world a better place.
Best wishes, stay healthy!

Great video 👍 I really enjoy the thought and story telling element! The level of detail is amazing
Making this felt like reading a book. I can’t claim I knew where it was going but maybe that’s why I didn’t run out of patience with all the work involved.
I've never been so inspired to try isometric art as I am watching this video right now
no time like now to start drawing one yourself =)
I want a print of this so bad 😍 the lighting from the window is beautiful
wow just wow
I love your style so much 💚💛 and I knew I recognized that accent!! Kiitos videosta, Mikko
I always loved these types of drawings as well, as a kid and up to this day. So the details, care, and attention you gave to your creation really resonated with me! You created a beautiful, relatable space which somehow feels both familiar and strange. So excellent, kiitoksia for sharing!! (I am guessing by your accent you are Finnish 😊)
So beautiful!😍
Thanks you for finding this video so quickly. I literally just hit the upload button :)
I love the story and the little rat!
This IS so inspiring!💓
This really reminds me of the concept art of final fantasy 9.
Which is good as it can get imo, love this
Kusanagi did an amazing job with 7 to 9 and that art is spectacular. SE should have bought them before tencent swallowed that entire art group into it's mobile business.
I absolutely loved the brush used in this painting, like damn the soft watercolor texture is just so cute
This one and Snow are definitely my favourites this year. I was so excited when it finally started working the way I wanted.
Amazing!
I love the little cameo of your dog on the bed, just so cute!! I want to try my hand at making an isometric room now, thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️
Mikko you are so inspiring and your work is gorgeous. I have learned so much just from watching 4 of your videos an am excited to use what I have learned to make my own art.
This is amazing man! Beautiful painting and amazing commentary.
One of my favourites so far!! 😍😍 I'd definitely buy a book with all your illustrations so I could enjoy all these details
I saw the lives but i loved watch your process again ! Great video and very good mood un this painting! Love it! 💛
Both of those livestreams were fun to do because the time limits really forced me to make quick progress in both phases. I still remember how excited I was when I made those ladders 😂
Your art always amazes me!!!
It has such detail and is so creative.
I recently got an iPad pro & obviously bought Procreate.... but I'm quite intimidated and overwhelmed and have no clue how to even begin these types of art pieces and what to even practice to build confidence.
Definitely not recommending this for beginners. It’s always better to start with one single object and build up from there. Take it slow and focus on the basics without going crazy with all of the tools. The latter part will be the real challenge ☝️ Good luck and stay patient 🐻
Wow this is awesome thank you for the wonderful art talks and incredible inspiration 💓
I am now inspired to make isometric art. It's been a hard time for me and i haven't been drawing lately... Hopefully I will finally continue my art journey
Such a wonderful video, beautiful illustration and heart-warming story 😁 Thanks for sharing 🧙♀
that turned out amazing- beautiful scene with a lot going on- it definitely tells a story- id say your goals were all accomplished!
Bravooo👍👍👍👍 thats an amazing work
Thank you :) I remember how long the whole piece took but in the end it was worth it. Was a bit scary before I figured out how to solve the edges but once that part clicked it became one of those drawings that you just want to keep working on forever.
Great story building!
I'm so happy I've run across your channel! I've been admiring your work for awhile and seeing your process is awesome :)
SO beautiful!!! Your work inspires me so much
I love the story so much :) It just shows how much of your heart and should you pour into your pieces ❤️
I feel like I don’t deserve this kind of credit. It’s more like the illustration is telling the story and I’m just there to take notes. 📝
Very beautiful piece, well done!
Thank you. It had its ups and downs but I’m happy with the end result so it would have been a waste to give up on it when it seemed pretty bleak 🐻
This is so awesome!
your avatar is awesome
@@angrymikko :D
oh wow , this is good
I've been wanting to do isometric for so long and this inspired me.
Wanting to do it is the perfect reason to actually pick up a pencil =)
you coloring is so beautiful! can you make a video showing us how you choose the colors and how u make them work together? love your videos much love 🤍🌸
All paintings have different ways how colours work in their context. In this one I let the shadows merge into each other and let the hues blend like it was a 2d surface. This approach wouldn’t work with my other styles but it’s better to look at each painting as it’s own set of problems that need unique solutions. I’ll make more videos on colours but the topic is just too wide to be solved in one video. There are endless ways to approach colour theory and as many ways to implement it.
gorgeous work! thank you so much for sharing and all the explanations you give 💕 i love your storytelling within your art. beautiful!
Thank you for watching. Is that a Koala in your avatar or a 🐻?
@@angrymikko ah, it's a small polarbear 🤣 they don't have many defining features unfortunately. 😅
They are lovely creatures. Terrifying, but lovely.
@@angrymikko that is so true 💕
Thank you so much for this video, it was super informative! I started an isometric illustration a while ago but got stuck cuz I didn't know how to approach filling the space well and felt kinda overwhelmed. You gave me some ideas for how to proceed so I'm definitely gonna keep your visual design tips in mind!
Wow, I really enjoyed watching this. I love how everything came together organically. I really have a long way to go in my art journey, but this was very inspiring. Thank you for creating this wonderful content :)
Everything we have in our house has a reason why it’s there so just applying that same logic to the design process can make it a lot easier than it might seem.
This is absolutely amazing and very impressive .I love your technique and color combinations.Keep working hard on these beautiful art sharings😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
I love this scene soo much and I was wondering if you would consider making the brush available again sometime in the future? I would love to be able to try it out.
God tier talent ❤️
This is amazing!! Beautiful work ♥
wow looks amazing.
Thank you 🐻💕
This is awesome! Instant sub.
Welcome 🐻💖 and thank you
THIS IS SO COOL!!! You've inspired me to start making isometric drawings and I love everything about this video. Keep up the great work!!! :D
Wow!
it's awesome, looks like Doraemon Story of Seasons art.
this isometric thing highly remind me of traditional japanese art! their art used to use a similar perspective i believe
So beautiful!
I never knew about isometric perspective- but was looking through my kids’ minecraft books the other day, drooling over all the big cut-away illustrations! Definitely going to go on the to-try list.
Also- rat 10/10
And tiny hatch on floor- 10/10 intrigue.
We shall not talk about the hatch 🌚
@@angrymikko 🐭
Okay this was wonderful... mannn it was beautiful I wish it was longer. 😂😂
Thank you 🐻 Still experimenting with video lengths.
@@angrymikko not a problem always keep up the good work and inspire 🙌🏻
This looks like such a wonderful space Mikko! Warm and cozy. 😊 Also, I just finished a painting I’ve been working on, and am excited to download this brush and give it a try!
Thank you so much, I really wanted to draw some scenario like this before, but I never got the feeling to do it, but you really inspired me to try this again 💜
Go for it! Start small, use a grid it’s really not that hard but with a lot of items in the scene it can quickly snowball into a big timesink.
You are amazing dude 👌
Wish I could say this was easy but like most things just patience is enough.
this is weird, i just spent a day working up a presentation for my beginning watercolor students on how to draw a simple cube, followed by a lesson on linear perspective. Now i see there is a name for my simple illustration "isometric' , thanks for opening my old eyes. Fun video as usual.
Thank you. I haven’t done a lot of work in this perspective but every time I have it’s been a real learning experience. This one included ☝️
That bear bro. He’s up to something
Omg it’s perfect! It’s a high quality! What device do you use to record the video?
It's so beautiful 😭 I've honestly been anxiously awaiting the release of this piece! I finished my loft studio, but the process was a little frustrating, and I was definitely a little overwhelmed by the detail aspect. I'm excited to try again, and am totally inspired by this piece! I want a print but it's not in your print shop yet. 👀
I did have a question, was there something specific you did in Sketch Up to make it isometric? Looking back at my drawing, I don't think it's isometric. The window lines have a vanishing point. 🤔
I set the fiel of view to 0 you can see this in the very beginning of the livestream as I talk through it. After pressing the field of view drop down menu look at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Just checked the livestream video it’s happening around 2: 54 the menu is camera>field of view (top bar)
@@angrymikko thank you! 😁
You know what would be lovely? If you shot a tutorial for your brushes, how you think while you’re using them and WHEN you’re supposed to use them to get the texture that you do. I always end up either blowing out the texture or having it be super desaturated
I think that’s a good idea. I usually only use one brush for paintings like this but the way I use it varies based on what I’m painting.
Have you adjusted your pressure curve so that you have control over your stylus? Most of my own brushes also use angle of the stylus to trigger scale or opacity modifiers.
@@angrymikko I tried to but, I just ended up sticking to the default one, I already have muscle memory with it and brushes are usually designed with it in mind. Your particular pressure curve is too sensitive for my heavy handed self and the inverse usually makes brushes barely paint when going as light handed as I can
awesome
Hi I'm a huge fan of yours!! Can you please recommend a default procreate brush which works as well as the cotton candy brush 😁
Any that suits the way you paint they’re all fine really.
Thanks a lot, I was wondering if it was a specific brush, but now Im gonna try out some of the painting brushes and see which suits me 👊😁
Omg this is so amazing🥹💖😭
Thank you, it was worth the effort but isometric pieces are a handful.
Hello, Mikko! Is the sketchup livestream for this house uploaded? I was trying to find it in your Livestream playlist but couldn't find it :) Love this illustration btw, I always love drawing rooms and just starting to learn basic perspective now, so glad i found your channel!
"smearing my pencil lines with my hand"? But you were digital at that point. By the way. I love this. I've watched you paint it twice
this is so beautiful it tugged at my heartstrings. every detail in your story and in the illustration is just so charming and wonderful this video is less of a tutorial and more of a fairy tale. love it so much.
Thank you. Sometimes I feel really lucky that I can share my art through this channel now and it’s not all trashed behind some client NDAs. Seemed like a longshot but I’m glad I started making these videos:)
you sketch so clean. I be erasing so many times before I achieve my final sketches lol
The 3d block in really helps with the perspective and if I accidentally make overlapping lines several times in the same area in a row I just leave it up to the digital eraser. The paper can only take so much punishment and smudges are harder to fix than a single overlap mistakes. Also letting the lines live a little and not being caught up in perfection helps. Just look at those picture frames on the wall.
How many of them are even close to a rectangle shape? None 🤷🏻♂️
