As we all know, many banner advertisements will be drawn with 2.5D isometric illustrations. This kind of illustration looks comfortable and can be matched according to the designer's skills. Here's how to draw 2.5D illustrations with AI.

Tools/Materials Adobe illustrator

0 1 Open the AI software in the computer and press ctrl+n to create a new canvas. The height and width of the canvas are arbitrary.

After the creation of 02, we select "Rectangle Tool" in the left toolbar, taking 2.5D rectangle drawing as an example.

After selecting the rectangle tool, draw a rectangle in the canvas and hold down the shift key to draw a square.

After drawing the rectangle, click "Effect -3D- Protrusion and Chamfering" in the above options.

When entering the 3D panel, we can see a variety of angles to choose from in the location options. Generally speaking, we all choose equal angles according to our needs, up, down, left and right.

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

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

After expanding the appearance, right-click the shape and click Ungroup until there are no groups.

After the grouping of 09 is completely cancelled, we can adjust the different faces of the shapes, and then use the basic 2.5D shapes to combine according to our own imagination.
