Learn basic techniques to create vector compositions with Adobe Illustrator

Working realistically with perspectives on a flat illustration is a challenge that even the best illustrators face. To help with this, isometric illustration involves a grid in the design process that simulates depth on paper.

In this course, you will learn how to create isometric vector illustrations in a vector drawing software with the help of Jorsh Peña, a Mexican illustrator specialized in this discipline, who will teach you the basic processes to create such an illustration from scratch in Adobe Illustrator. You will use a grid on which you will create a detailed vector city, paying special attention to the use of proportions, lights and shadows, and of course, to the elements’ perspective.
