Create an Isometric Illustration for Web Design in Illustrator CC

In today's tutorial, we're going to use Adobe Illustrator CC to create an isometric grid, which will help us design an isometric illustration for a quick fictional landing page. You can use this process to create your own isometric icons and illustrations for various use cases.

Came here after watching the SVG Animation tutorial to make interactive isometrics

[@grazinabockute6456]

best tutorial ever. had an idea, had a problem, needed a quick way to solve it, watched your video, solved it in 10s. thank you!

[@Punkfish050]

Gary, your video's are all amazing and super educational! Thanks for your hard work. Greetings from The Netherlands

[@DesignCourse]

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear it.

[@suranjithnishalaka7395]

gary, your the best teacher in youtube for me. Thank you!

[@meritonselimi5116]

im from albania, new into digital design, you are a great person and a great teacher 😀😉

[@SoapeJ]

Glad you added that UI example at the end! All your vids have been super useful for me

[@abijahan1002]

Hi Gary. Thanks for the helpful grid tips. I've now started to deign a lot of my work using the 3D Extrude & Bevel option as it speeds up my workflow. I can draw flat shapes quickly and then have 3D take the headache. I sometimes use the Perspective grid tool but now find myself just using the 3D tool instead.

[@jerembardonify]

Looking for that since 4 months (not deep research but ..). Thanks a lot, you rock !!!!

[@muzammilkhan4560]

Your videos really help me improve my skills in web design . Thank you.

[@mariomotosicky]

Im kinda not new in AI but love to watch your tuts. Good job 👍🏼

[@Programming-Fun-With-Hima]

You have an extraordinary way of teaching, God bless you Gary

[@vidronin]

Gary, thank you very much for your tutorial. I was doing the three-point perspective guide and my grid looks wonky. Your tutorial helped me create customized illustrated placeholders for my case study

[@snehsolanki8849]

Gary, always thanks for your efforts! You're amazing.

[@DesignCourse]

Thanks bud!

[@kankandas2577]

You have always been an inspiration to me....

[@OGuaxi]

Thank you 'Actions', for making this process a lot easier now 😂

[@AdamsTaiwan]

Thanks for the tutorial. Just tried the same thing in Paint 3D. Some things were easier, some not... but did have fun viewing in mixed reality and created a simple video with a simple animation (didn't know MS added that last bit.)

[@DesignCourse]

Nice

[@nano.punct10]

Greetings from Romania! Lovely piece of work!

[@falfiya]

That’s so useful! Thanks for sharing! I’ve only seen a bit of the video but it seems pretty professional.

[@DesignCourse]

Welcome!

[@monicahwanjiru6455]

You are the best! Appreciated from Nairobi

[@MrShrivathsanimnd]

Please do an isometric illustration of humanoid character, no one has done that for a website just so we can learn complex isometric illustrations.

[@iankobe]

I wish I had you as my professor in college T.T

[@jiwonkim5315]

i love your tutorials. the design is so clean

[@saishsankhe]

Amazing tutorial! I learned so many things in this tutorial. Thank you so much :)

[@christianachleitner9439]

Could you do also a Code-tutorial about this, and show us how to set each part of the icon together while scrolling? :)

[@DesignCourse]

Interesting idea!

[@alexandrugrecov8964]

great result and useful techniques.

[@2Manzy]

how do you toogle on and off the rectangular grid

[@Centomila]

This method works well for older Illustrator versions, but is not the fastest workflow today. You can do it in 2D and then extrude it in 3D directly in illustrator avoiding all the guides thing. Give it a try :)

[@DesignCourse]

I'll try it, but something tells me getting the right angle/perspective might not be easy.

[@Centomila]

Less difficult than you think: Effects -> 3D -> Extrude -> Dropdown menu "POSITION" -> Isometric Top. Anyway this tutorial (and all the others) is still valid and a good way to learn grids and transformation. My comment was just a my way to do the same thing, not a critic. I've learned many things on this channel and for once, i'd wanted to give something useful back :)

[@shashanksshetty9870]

Gray could you make a video serious on how to use adobe illustrator and Photoshop. It would be great for us. Lots of video over online are over killing. I'm really looking forward for this. Thank you

[@seskwein]

good stuff buddy, learned some efficiency tricks for sure

[@grungemax]

Great tutorial. Cheers!

[@MohammedAli-se3gi]

How do i pin the layers tab to the side like he has? I use it all the time and dont want to have to click layers tab each time i want to acces it

[@zadakhan619]

[@vasiuliaaurelia9198]

Thanks a bunch!

[@ReddyAnil]

how to get rounded corners in Adobe CS6?

[@mdhasanshaikh6403]

Thanks bro..👍🏻👍🏻

[@kenvng]

Thank you for great tutorial... I noticed that when you round the corner of the phone and you still have Selection tool on which did not work for me. I had to select Pen Tool, Curvature Tool, or Lasso Tool in order to have that dot in 4 corner when i hold ctrl... FYI I am also using adobe Illustrator CC 2019. Maybe they changed that in 2019? Thank you again... most grateful. Keep up the good work sir.

[@sedikbendaoud7962]

I have CC2018 and it works normal

[@madalleycat8451]

I tried to use this as a way to get into Illustrator, but even when I do everything step for step, Illustrator reacts completely different. For instance in Scale menu for the grit says "could not complete requested operation. The requested transformation would make some objects too large.", in spite I use same canvas dimensions and same formats as you do, here in the video. Has anyone here experienced same issue? I also experienced issues when I tried to merge the two layers with the shape modes in path finder. It just doesn't want to do it.

[@gabeame4666]

Very cool, nice work... what about the intro song title?

[@tusharkanjariya2691]

How to getting ideas about the web banner illustration thats used in current websites??

[@rohitnair29121993]

hey Gary cant we simply use illustrators 3d effects ?

[@religood]

I did. Enjoy that. Alot. :)

[@manpreetnagi6327]

Hi.. Big fan of your designs. Can you please tell which UI tool you use?

[@fabiopohl7402]

First, very good video! But I have one problem: Illustrator changes my 86.602% to 86%. Do you know how to fix it? :)

[@coffeebear9685]

Ba-baam!!!! Smashed that subscribe and like button with a hammer!!!!!

[@shubhkhiwsara8925]

Loved your work dude.. Superb 👌🏻👍🏻 Could you please tell the name of tool/software which you used to place your live image recording in the video i.e on the top of photoshop screen which is visible to us. Will glad to hear from you

[@evolution1842]

wow coool

[@mohsinyousaf7065]

Good-

[@kwentongeerie]

Still no auto isometric grid in 2019? 😩

[@SubhraKDas-zg6jf]

use affinity designer, instead of adobe cc. It has awesome isometric grids

[@totallynotgad]

Can you do a DreamWeaver video?

[@DesignCourse]

Wow. I haven't used DW in years upon years. Maybe I'll revisit it.

[@rogerweikers]

again... what it takes 10000 clicks on AI you can do it with only 1 in Corel - I really don't understand why people prefer AI for vectors

[@umutcemre]

It's not a phone, it's a brick.
