This project began as an experiment with the purpose of practicing drawing in isometric orthogonal perspective.
The inspiration came from the analysis of some computer and video games from the 90s. These games, due to the technology of the time, were two-dimensional and used isometry as a way of simulating space in three dimensions.
I started with two similar characters, one from the front and one from the back. Later, I had the idea of producing an illustration with a birthday party theme, where these characters would be the birthday people. So I made the cake and planned the scene as in the image above.
The characteristics of the party guests were decided at another time. I just wanted two girls and two boys in the scene. Some objects have already been planned from the beginning, such as the stereo, poster, cake table, table with food, etc. Others were added later, such as the balloons and the trash can.
The fonts on the board (Happy Birthday) and on the stereo display are not my own.
