    What You'll Be Creating

    If you've been following this series of tutorials, you may already have aneighborhood block with (slightly) different houses and cars. Let's continue to growour city, but this time vertically; we'll be making a building multiple stories high.

    1. Dimensions

    As usual, we'll use our character as a sort of yardstick to find a reasonable heightfor each floor. Dimensions don't need to be completely realistic; it's better forbuildings to be slightly smaller so that characters still get to stand out on the

    canvas.

    Step 1Place your character next to a surface line and, to be mindful of the texture we'lladd later on, make many copies of this line with regular spacing in between so youhave a wall of lines that stops at the desired height for one floor. As with thewooden textured house, I have left three blank pixels between each line.

    Step 2We've got the height for our first floor, so now let's define the lengthit may be a bitmore or less than the length of the house. We'll mostly base it on the rows ofwindows, the door, and other architectural elements we might want to add.

    The windows will be a bit narrow, and the space for the door we'll leave wider andtaller than the door we made for the house, because the door frame will be a bitwider.

    Here I added the main widths and maximum heights for these details in othercontrasting colors. These are mere guidelines, so it doesn't really matter whatcolors you use, but it's better to separate them enough from the colors of elementsthat will be kept in the final version.

    Step 3For the side I decided to add only one window to go for a more unexpected,asymmetrical look. I think it helps the end result because otherwise it's just a grid ofwindows, and if you've seen one you've seen them all, so it's nice to let the texturebreathe on an area.

    Step 4Now that we have the main lines for each floor, we just copy it as many times aswe want. Go for a cartoony height if you want, or just a few floors. Here I've donefour floors, because that looks nice and normal for a brick and mortar type ofbuilding.

    Step 5Let's finish our main building shape by adding the vertical edge lines and rooftoplines.

    Looking nice enough!

    We could have created a more complex shape like L or H or T or what-have-you,but we'll be able to make this very basic shape look nice and compelling with thetexture and the rest of the details we'll add. And anyway, for the type of buildingwe're doing, this shape is quite normal.

    2. Texture

    Let's add our brick texture. We won't be going the easy way for the texture, but the

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    result will be, in my opinion, worth it!

    Step 1To work on our texture and later add it to the building, it's best to get the door andwindow guidelines out of the way. Select them with the Magic Wand Tool(Contiguous unchecked,) paste them in the same place but in another layer, andmake that layer invisible for now.

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    Here I filled the holes left by those elements, although that's not necessary.

    Step 2We'll be making a texture with "hand-picked" colored bricks to have something thatlooks random or, in a way, organic. Ideally it shouldn't look so repetitive so our tileshouldn't be so small but if it's too big then making the texture will get tedious.The size I landed on allows for 12 bricks horizontally and 24 vertically.

    Let's start the tile in a new layer with a bunch of "horizontal" lines. To be precisethese are 25 lines with a width of 134 px.

    Step 3Let's add some vertical lines to define some bricks' edges. They should align andalternate, one row on and one row off.

    And for the off rows we add the same lines but a few pixels off to the side. Herethey are off by 3px:

    Then simply select those two first columns and repeat all across the pattern,keeping the spacing regular.

    We already have a basic brick texture, but now let's work on the custom brickcoloring!

    Step 4Let's fill all the bricks with some random color for now; vivid but not blinding!

    Shortcut to do this: fill the entire area with the Bucket Tool, with the Contiguoussetting checked off. Then with the Magic Wand Tool, with the Contiguous settingchecked on, select all the color that's outside of the bricks and Delete.

    Also make the dark brick edge lines a similar color to the brick one to lower

    Now start adding some other color randomly placed across the whole texture. We'llhave three different brick colors, so to keep it even, if we have 12 bricks per row,there should be four bricks of each color.

    So here I went through adding four green bricks per row, hoping to keep thingsrandom and sort of evenly spread, trying to avoid areas that stand out.

    Once that is finished we can tile our pattern a few times (but keep an original tileseparate) and analyse the result. The edges should match precisely.

    Most likely some areas will stand out, especially the ones that were on the edges.Any areas where a particular color dominates or a pattern repeats too much causesthe tiling to be more conspicuous, when what we want is seamless.

    But you can go in and move some colors around, fill some here and there (butmostly in the middle section), stand back a bit and squint, and if it looks a bit moreaveraged out then the pattern will be more successful.

    If you edited the pattern, you'll want to remove the extra areas you got from tiling it.You can do this by making a selection in the shape of the original pattern, movingthat selection over the big pattern, copying the improved area, and deleting the rest.

    Step 9Brick can be quite a few different colors. I've chosen a slightly saturated and slightlylight orange. Apply your preferred color to one of the brick colors (Contiguouschecked off for the Bucket Tool.)

    And then make a darker shade for the brick lines; this should be the darkest shade.

    And then two more shades, one lighter and one darker for the remaining bricks:

    Brick color #1: 94% brightnessBrick color #2: 90% brightnessBrick color #3: 85% brightnessLines color: 78% brightness

    Step 10Copy the pattern and flip it horizontally to make the right hand side, which I typicallyshade darker. Colors can be updated manually (selecting and filling with the buckettool) or simply by lowering brightness by selecting it and using the Image >Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast slider.

    Tile them enough to cover the building completely and make them meet at thecorner. Try to make them meet nicely; if there's a long brick on one side of thecorner, we should only see its short side on the other side of the corner. Like this:

    We could also color the corner bricks to make them all match but maybe we don'tneed to be that finicky!

    Step 12As usual we add a highlight to all peak corners. Make a new, brighter shade andapply it to the corner, leaving the brick lines untouched (or make that lighter as well,just don't erase them with the new color).

    Now we place the texture over the building.

    To make the placement easier, you can lower the opacity for the texture's layer andthen place it so that the brick lines match the bunch of lines we had on the building.

    the other areas could be trickier. If you click with the Magic Wand Tool outside ofthe pattern, you'll have a negative selection of the pattern's shape, and you canthen move this negative selection over the residues you want to remove and simplypress Delete.

    And you're done applying the texture!

    3. Details

    So now we sort of have a big brick-textured-brick. We have to work in the rest ofthe details.

    Step 1Let's make our windows layer visible again.

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    And finish defining the size for our windows. You can make a selection of the blankspace around the windows with the Magic Wand Tool and move it up a bit anddelete. Try many different lengths and see which you prefer just don't apply thelength change to the door.

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    Step 2After defining these sizes, take one window guideline aside to turn it into a finalwindow.

    Start by removing the placeholder colors and completing the rectangle shape.

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    Step 3We'll add a small window ledge. After trying a few different versions, I ended uppreferring this style, with a darker grey shade running through the middle of theledge, but you could try a single solid color if you want.

    http://pdfcrowd.com/html-to-pdf-api/?ref=pdfhttp://pdfcrowd.com/customize/http://pdfcrowd.com/redirect/?url=http%3a%2f%2fdesign.tutsplus.com%2ftutorials%2fcreate-an-isometric-pixel-art-apartment-building-in-adobe-photoshop--cms-23006&id=ma-150319172846-f386e478http://pdfcrowd.com

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    This grey actually has a bit of color saturation. For consistency, we'll be applyingthese colors to all concrete/cement/plaster material details we're about to add, soplain grey could possibly be too boring after so much repetition.

    Step 4Now let's add depth to our windows. We should see the ledge go a bit far back intothe window, and we'll need a vertical line from the topmost ledge corner to the top

    http://pdfcrowd.com/html-to-pdf-api/?ref=pdfhttp://pdfcrowd.com/customize/http://pdfcrowd.com/redirect/?url=http%3a%2f%2fdesign.tutsplus.com%2ftutorials%2fcreate-an-isometric-pixel-art-apartment-building-in-adobe-photoshop--cms-23006&id=ma-150319172846-f386e478http://pdfcrowd.com

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    window edge.

    Step 5Now let's fill this bit of corner wall with, not just color, but brick texture. Since this bitwe're adding is facing right, we need the brick shades from the darker pattern, butthere's no need to have the varying brick colors for this bit; one single brick color(the middle brightness one, logically) will do. We of course need to keep the brick

    lines and have the corner highlight.

    Also, let's make a new darker brick shade and apply it to the borders of the ledgethat will be in contact with the brick pattern.

    Step 6

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    Now we add the window. We can use the same window frame color we used on thehouse, and we should use the same window color and same border effects forconsistency.

    Step 7Finally let's add an extra detail of window frame to make the windows moreinteresting. And adjust the contrast of the corners where surfaces meet.

  • pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

    Step 8One window is done but we'll need two more types of windows: the wider ones (towhich I added extra vertical lines to make them less boring) and the windows thatface right, where some colors needed adjustments, as that's the side I typicallykeep darker.

    Notice the ledge is darker when it's facing right, and so is the window frame.Meanwhile the bit of brick wall on that right facing window is lighter, because thatsurface is facing left.

    Step 9Once you have all windows it's only a matter of placing them right over the

    guidelines.

    Step 10Now's time to work on the door. We can simply reuse the door we made for thehouse.

    Remember that you can easily try multiple colors with the Hue slider (Image >Adjustments > Hue/Saturation/Brightness) to find a color that goes well withthe rest.

    Step 12Here I applied to the door frame a style that matches the window ledges; it has thesame colors and the same dark line in between, making it seem as if the same

    materials and finishes are applied throughout the building. As though there was anarchitect behind it all which there kind of was!

    Step 13Now let's push the door back a bit, giving depth to the entrance.

    To do this you can select everything and then subtract the door from the selection

    To do this you can select everything and then subtract the door from the selection(for example, holding down Alt while selecting the door with the Lasso Tool), andthen move the whole selection over a couple of pixels to the side and one down.

    Of course you then have to fill in some spaces to get this result. And to finish thedoor off you could adjust the colors of the corners where surfaces meet. I usuallydon't leave those black.

    Step 14Let's add a ledge to the roof. It will be quite similar to the window ledges but a bitthicker, and it can be darker because it will have a different angle.

    You can start it with some parallel grey and darker grey lines.

    Step 15As usual, make the right side darker and bring in the corner highlight.

    Step 16And now trim off the corners on the sides. You will have seen ledges like this in reallife or reference images; they look a bit like steps, and that's why I made these

    corners like this.

    Step 17The top surface is now higher and a bit wider. Add the top lines to finish it off and fillwith the light concrete/cement/plaster color.

    I went with a very dark grey. Something that implies it could be a tarred or gravelledsurface, which seems to be common for these kinds of buildings.

    Step 19Finally I added a subtle texture to further convey the roof possibly being tarred orgravelled, or at least not perfectly smooth.

    Step 20Now we're going to add a small base to the building, with a few steps leading up tothe entrance.

    Step 28We're close to finished. Let's just add a few elements to the roof.

    Roofs in isometric art end up using quite a bit of canvas space, so generally I wouldadd a terrace so that it doesn't feel so much like a waste of the illustration's space.But terraces aren't so common that every building would have one, so let's insteadjust add some utility elements or anything that can be found on a random rooftop.
