How to use AI to draw 2.5D illustrations

We all know that many banner advertisements are now drawn using 2.5D isometric illustrations. This kind of illustration looks very comfortable, and Various combinations can be made according to the designer's skills. Here we teach you how to use AI to draw 2.5D illustrations.

Tools/Materials

Adobeillustrator

01

Open the AI ​​software on the computer, press ctrl n to create a new canvas, the canvas Height and width are optional.

02

After the creation is completed, we select the "Rectangle Tool" in the left toolbar, taking 2.5D rectangle drawing as an example.

03

After selecting the rectangle tool, draw a rectangle on the canvas. Hold down shift to draw a square.

04

After the rectangle is drawn, click "Effect-3D-Extrusion and Bevel" in the options above

05

Enter the 3D panel, and in the position options we can see a variety of angles that can be selected. Generally speaking, we choose equiangular, and we can choose up, down, left, and right according to our needs.

06

For example, we select Isometric-Top. After selecting, check the preview to see the effect, adjust the protrusion thickness, and click "OK".

07

After confirming, we quickly drew a 2.5D basic shape. At this time, we need to expand it and select "Object-Expand Appearance"

08

After expanding the appearance, right-click the shape and click "Ungroup" until no grouping exists.

09

After the grouping is completely cancelled, we can adjust the different sides of the shape, and then combine them according to our own imagination using basic 2.5D shapes. PS, AI cleverly turns photos into illustrations. Written in front: This tutorial requires a foundation of AI and PS. 1. Analyze the characteristics of illustrations. Flat illustrations are a very popular illustration style at present. To make flat illustrations, you must first understand and analyze its characteristics. In terms of styling: simplicity, simplifying complex shapes. In terms of light and shadow: remove light and shadow gradients and texture effects, and use more solid colors. 2. Illustration drawing tools Shape is what AI is good at, so we use ai to draw the shape of objects, and AI for color. These two softwares cooperate with each other and can meet almost all our needs. 3. The composition is based on a photo. The objects in the photo can be deleted and modified appropriately. For example, if the shape and position of the bamboo raft are not ideal, we can use the bamboo raft in the picture on the right to replace it. We can divide the picture into three levels. The close shot is the bamboo raft, the middle shot is the mountain, and the distant view is the sky. A V-shaped composition with high sides and low middle. 4. Drawing steps Step 1: Use the spot brush in ai to draw the close shot, middle shot, and distant shot layer by layer. You only need to draw a rough outline. You can lock the photo and copy it directly on the photo. You only need to draw the outline. , and then delete the path inside to get a face. Step 2: Use the plug-in to convert the drawn ai into layered psd, and draw colors in the psd. The shape of each layer is mainly monochrome. The choice of color can refer to the color of the photo, for example, in the morning, afternoon, or evening, just absorb the color. Step 3: Add water reflection and detailed texture. Use Boolean operations to add ripples and details to the reflection. It does not need to be complicated, it can be abstract. AI tutorial: Illustrator video tutorial, AI software from getting started to mastering PS tutorial: A complete set of PS tutorials, PS tutorials that can be learned even with zero foundation. How to use AI to make illustrations. AI is a vector software. You must first use this software skillfully. If you have hand-drawing skills, And if you are familiar with the AI ​​software, it will be very simple to use AI to make illustrations. If you have a digital tablet, it will be more convenient to draw. Commonly used tools: pens, pencils, and line drawings. Directly select tools to adjust the shape and color according to your own preferences.

Artificial Intelligence: The English abbreviation of AI is a new technical science that researches and develops theories, methods, technologies and application systems for simulating, extending and expanding human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the simulation of the information process of human consciousness and thinking. Artificial intelligence is not human intelligence, but it can think like humans and may even exceed human intelligence. But such self-thinking advanced artificial intelligence will require breakthroughs in scientific theory and engineering.
