Isometric pixel art is a specific style of digital art that combines pixel art techniques with isometric projection.

Isometric pixel art is digital art where images or scenes are rendered using small, square pixel elements arranged in an isometric projection.

It has a 3-dimensional appearance but the image is still a 2D shape.

Isometric drawing comes from the Greek ίσο μέτρο “íso metro,” meaning equal measure.

The angles between the x, y, and z axes are all 120°, and there is no perspective.

This creates a sense of order and geometry.

Isometric pixel art was popularized in classic video games and computer applications due to its aesthetic appeal, memory efficiency, and ability to create a convincing 3D look on limited hardware.

Common uses

Video game graphics, especially for strategy and RPG games.
