Isometric illustrations are 2D illustrations that are created to simulate a 3D image by using parallel lines that converge at a vanishing point. They are popular for creating illustrations of buildings, vehicles, and other complex objects. Here’s how you can create isometric illustrations in Illustrator:
1. Start by creating a new document in Illustrator and set up the grid. Go to the View menu and select “Show Grid”. Then, go to “Preferences” > “Guides & Grid” and set up a grid that will work for your project. For example, you could set up a grid with 10 px squares. 2. Use the Rectangle tool to create the base shape for your illustration. Draw a rectangle on the grid that’s the size you want your object to be. 3. Use the Line Segment tool to draw lines that will serve as guides for your isometric illustration. Start by drawing a line that extends from the bottom-left corner of the rectangle to the right. Then, draw another line that extends from the top-left corner of the rectangle to the right, and connect the ends of the lines with a diagonal line. 4. Duplicate the rectangle and position it on the grid so that it lines up with the guides you just drew. You can do this by selecting the rectangle, holding down the Alt key (Option key on Mac), and dragging it to the desired location. 5. Use the guides to draw the sides of the object. Draw lines that connect the corners of the rectangles to create the sides of the object. Make sure to use the guides to keep the lines parallel. 6. Continue to add detail to your illustration by using the same process to draw additional shapes and lines. You can use the Shape Builder tool to combine shapes and create more complex objects. 7. Once you’ve finished your illustration, you can add color and shading to make it look more realistic. You can use the Gradient tool or the Mesh tool to add shading to your illustration. By using the grid and guides, you can create isometric illustrations that have a consistent perspective and look professional.
