Isometric City Illustrator Tutorial

In today's Adobe Illustrator tutorial I'm going to show you a really useful technique for creating isometric art, in particular an isometric city scene with loads of skyscrapers and bright neon lights. Usually, isometric illustrations would be drawn with the help of a grid, but this method makes it easy to build simple 3D objects in a range of shapes and sizes. Decorating the objects to turn then into skyscrapers is easy too. I'll show you how you can add colourful shapes to represent the windows, without having to worry about getting the angles right.

    For anyone not seeing the same options (like Map Art) on the latest version of Illustrator, you can go to Effect > 3D and Materials > 3D (Classic) > Extrude and Bevel (Classic) to get to the same menu shown. Or you can use the new 3D and Materials panel, click on Materials, then Graphics, and add/move your windows around the object there.

    Was obviously an awesome tutorial 3 years ago but sadly I can't follow it with the newer version of Illustrator - had to abort - will go and look at your library to see if you have added an updated version - might be a good idea to remove this one now maybe.
