How to Draw Isometric Pyramids

This is an isometric representation of a pyramid.

Pyramids have been fascinating to people for centuries because of their mysticism and dominance. The best way to draw and present one is with an isometric method that visually represents three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. "Isometric" comes from a Greek word that means "of equal measure." The scale along each axis of the projection is the same.

Things You'll Need

• Ruler
• Eraser

Instructions

1. Draw an isometric cube. The angles between any of the coordinate axes should be 120 degrees.

2. Mark a central point on the top of the cube by drawing lines from each corner to create a cross.

3. Draw three lines from the bottom three corners of your cube to the central point on top of the cube. This should give you a pyramid shape.

4. Erase the excess lines so what remains is an isometric pyramid with three sides.
