Print one , or something like
Get a scale/ruler, a pencil and an eraser
Use the above to draw, first a and then a
Then imagine and draw stuff like

The last one is not true isometric, but has a perspective. But you can make similar good looking stuff in isometric too.
To do perspective, you can't use the Printed isometric line/dot paper.
Instead, it has an additional step of choosing the infinity points and making your own lines for it.

I tried to find a good instructions page, but unfortunately, search engines just prefer YouTube videos (which I don't like to recommend).

Either way, this is one method that lets you git gud pretty fast, albeit in a different drawing form.

Another thing: The last example picture I showed, has circles and semi circles. Avoid those in your drawing at this stage. That requires you to learn an extra method.

metalbags

metal, semi-metal, plastic, fibre-glass.

If you just talk about the material of the bag, yes, it is mostly metal and plastic. The costlier the stuff, the more the metal.

ellipses

I tend to use the ellipsis in the end to indicate one of:

I am going to write more in the next message.

This tends to apply more during Internet Messaging chats.

I will leave the rest for you to have fun extrapolating, considering that what comes next would be different depending upon the conditions.

e.g. I could continue with, "When I really want to watch something in the maximum possible size, I just turn it." or something like that.
Simply put, stuff that is not useful enough to be wasting time for you, reading, as your brain can quickly extrapolate it without converting it into languaged though.
- Why? I read something somewhere, which, to me meant: Write less, mean more; Read less, understand more. One of the reasons we have abbreviations. Because writing and reading takes longer than thinking upon something that has already entered your brain.
