1. Understanding Shapes
We will use a rhombus (diamond) shape. By arranging three of these together with different shades, we can create the illusion of a 3D cube.
2. The Pen Tool
Use the Stamp tool from the Pen extension to place your shapes on the canvas without creating clones.
3. Tessellation Loop
Create nested loops to repeat this cube pattern across the entire screen, fitting them together like a puzzle.
