Isometric illustration is a style of two-dimensional illustration that represents three-dimensional objects and scenes in a way that eliminates perspective and depth. In isometric illustrations, all lines and angles are parallel, which means that objects are drawn with equal angles and no foreshortening, making them appear to be in a 3D space without the illusion of depth.
This style is characterized by its use of 30-degree angles for all three axes (x, y, and z), creating a sense of uniformity and consistency in the representation of objects.
Isometric illustrations are often used in various design and visual communication contexts, such as architectural drawings, technical diagrams, video games, infographics, and more. They provide a clear and easily understandable way to depict complex structures, products, and environments, as the absence of perspective distortion makes it easier for viewers to interpret and measure distances and dimensions within the illustration.
HOW TO CREATE AN ISOMETRIC ILLUSTATION
Isometric illustrations can be created using vector graphics software, and they can be coloured and shaded to enhance their visual appeal and clarity. Some people make use of a grid when mocking up their design and you’re welcome to download this one:
