Having spent my life in Desk Top Publishing and Signage, Illustrator has always been my goto since 1994. Just the other day I was again referred to as an "Illustrator wizard", which I tend to disagree with. Alas, it's mind boggling what others do and all the different approaches they use. The more you know, the more you know how much you don't know! Thanks for the awesome content! :-)
Awesome video! The longer format is sometimes needed to get the whole process through. It can help a lot to see a new technique applied from start to finish. Keep it up!
this is probably the best tutorial on the use of isometric grids in illustrator I've seen so far! this was really, really helpful. keep up the good work!
I am new to isometric designs.. But i want to incorporate this in my design which explains a chemical laboratory work flow.. It involves designing beakers, ovens, flasks etc.. This helped a lot to understand the basics.. Thanks much.
The Grids Played a really Major role in making this "Laptop" Design. The concept and Color theme is also really amazing. You works at a different level bro. This is just awesome, Maybe this is not enough for the Design and Tutorial you made. Thank you so much for the Video buddy!
I donno if I am missing something here or is it not that obvious but, I Have used the Effects > 3D> Extrude & Bevel without any extrude value on the rectangular grid and it worked fine for isometric grid.
Great tutorial Mr. Satori, I've learned great things like that 57,74% value for transforming into isometric shape. Will try that one out. Thanks again!
@@SatoriGraphics Is there a place where I can see a bigger version of the isometric design you used as a thumbnail for the "4 tips being organized" video? I like that one :)
Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial! Personally, I am trying to change my occupation, and your tutorials are making it way easier and more engaging!
Hey Darina, great to see you are finding my uploads useful! If you search 'satori graphics career' into UA-cam, there may be older vids on this industry from a business perspective. However the channel The Futur do a good job on this topic 👍🏻
Excellent. I have done isometric drawings in woodworking class(very long time ago). They can be tricky. I knew it could be done in Illustrator but I never saw it taught. Great job. I like both formats too. The quick & dirty tips are very helpful but throw some longer ones in too. I'm all for it! Thanks again!
Thank you for this! I've being trying to expand on my portfolio by adding some isometric pieces. I recently made a desk design, and the keyboard was a nightmare. Your method is so much easier than me using the grid to make all the keys!
Buddy, Can You Help Me To Build My Portfolio I Don't Have Any Background Of Computer And I Didn't Done Any Project I Want To Add Things That Will Give Me My First Project I Am A Web Developer
Quick tip: You can add an action and record your "Rotate 45deg, then change height to 57.74%" actions so you can do that in one click thru the actions panel. Great video btw ! PS: Do you do it manually because you don't like the 3D rotation tool, or generally because it isn't as precise as your techinique maybe? Just curious.
@@ansarialtamash7669 you could also use the 3D effect, then expend apparences, then ungroup (several times) and play with the pathfinder or the shape builder tool. It's also allowing you to change manually the color of every part with the white arrow. Practical thing about the 3D effect is that there is all isometric positions settings available within one single click. This technique only works with herited (classical) version of the 3D effect though. It's not working with the new Adobe 22CC 3D effect.
Woow... thank you so much.. Isometric designs are very new to me.. I dint know how to use the grids.. specially the height adjustment aftr rotating it at 45° . I will also try this isometric design today.. 👍
i'm interesting to isometric scene so i decided to moving on from Corel draw to Adobe illustrator i need to learning tool again but when i done something in illustrator,why it's look's more professional than i do in corel draw lmao . thanks Satori for this :D SubS!
Wow Sir Tom! This was an awesome tutorial. It looks like fun creating an isometric design. I will definitely may give it a go. Thanks for sharing. As always have a great day.
no problem . . good content always has a longer session . . please dont be afraid to share longer video . . .. I also request you to do a video about Adobe illustrator Extensions and actoins (free and paid both) . . which can increase creativity and productivity . . thank you
02:53 When I click on the anchor and try to move just that point the whole shape moves together. I can not minipulate the anchor points to make a new shape.
If it didn't work by selecting all and using Pathfinder, try with Object > Compound Path > Make (Cmd+8) then apply the gradient. It's the old "official" way of merging separated shapes into one. ;-)
@@BorisChevreau is right, make a compound path. Unite in pathfinder (what is used in the video) just merges overlapping areas and then groups all the separate selected shapes, hence why they get their own gradient generated from the size of their individual shapes. The only way to get all those shapes into one shape and not a group of smaller shapes is by creating a compound path.
Hi Satori, really good guide. I have a question tho. What if we wanted to make laptop screen look more wide open than 90 angle? 90 angle doesnt really look natural for laptop IMO. Will you be making more isometric tutorials?
Longer videos like this are something I personally enjoy rather then short ones. Thanks for sharing!

The Attention to the Smallest of Details matters while designing anything ........ Thats the most challenging part !!!!!
yeah that's true a lot of the time, and it's difficult if you don't have much time lol

Tbh 3d tool is good but it creates less realistic effect than things done manually.
Lights and shadows dont look that great

One word - excellent!
Love it, another dope, helpful tutorial. Thank you so much Satori.
How did you calcualte the 57.74%? I'm just curious is it fixed or flexible depends on the width and height? Thanks
great work dear
thank you for the feedback Adnan
i hope if you can make a complex and very advanced tutorials in the feature . and all your tutorials are awesome :)
02:53 When I click on the anchor and try to move just that point the whole shape moves together. I can not minipulate the anchor points to make a new shape.
i understand on 8:25 how you do that i have new version of Abobe I. and i can't do that
Press C for the scissors tool, is that what you needed to know?
Thank you Mr.satori,its a nice work
this deserves a love not like button , Thanks for the awesome technique!
very easy to follow instructions.
good job.
you earned one sub.
Thank you.. I m happy I leant something new today
that's great to know, thanks for your comment man
It's so silly that Adobe doesn't utilise isometric grids this far.
I know, right?
Adobe should include this isometric grids along with calculation it follows in their future updates.
No need. We have Satori 🤗🤗🤗👍
Affinity Designer does :)
@@SemageNamalSurendra ow ban
lovely turorial man! thanks
Brilliant work...thank you brother...you impressed..
This was so helpful and awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
You can also use 3D tools to create isometric designs. Just choose Isometric Top, Right, Left etc. in 'position' box..
Awesome thanks 👍
no problem Hidy, thanks fore the comment
Really neat artwork again Tom.
Liked a lot!
Have a nice weekend, bro
Great job. I really need this...
16:49 How did he add in the logos because i need to add an image behind the overlay !!!
Can't wait to try this!!!
Good video, don't worry about the length, i could watch 1 hour video of you explaining some Ilustrator techniques.
awesome sir
thanks as always man, much appreciate the feedback
i was eagerly waiting for this video
Excelent content man. Please, keep it up
learn a lot from you video, thanks.
Can you please explain how you applied one gradient to all the keys ?(10:58) When I try it with the gradient tool, every key gets it's own gradient.
If it didn't work by selecting all and using Pathfinder, try with Object > Compound Path > Make (Cmd+8) then apply the gradient. It's the old "official" way of merging separated shapes into one. ;-)

57.74 doesn't work right in my illustrator. The program transform into another crazy shape. Any thoughts?
You have to disable the "Constraint Width and Height Proportion" and make sure to add a "%" so its 57.74%. Hope this helps
And also, you have to erase the px unit and change it into %
I have the exact same problem, any solution given below doesn't fix the problem.
Go to object > transform > Scale then select non uniform and change number 57,74% use "," not this "."
nice guys changing dot into a comma it's work
Great tutorial as expected
...patiently learning something over!!
Sir very very good tutorial
Thank you, so helpfull !
Beautiful. I love that.
Would it be possible to request a tutorial on how to animate these?

How did you warp your initials on the screen sir? 57.74% of the width sir?
Cool & easy to understand

Thanks A Lot Bro
Muchísimas gracias por este gran aporte!
Hi Satori, really good guide. I have a question tho.
What if we wanted to make laptop screen look more wide open than 90 angle? 90 angle doesnt really look natural for laptop IMO. Will you be making more isometric tutorials?
Should you always use the same percentage when creating an isometric grid? Is there some formula that should be followed? Or is it all guesswork?
Awesome bro!!
Thank
amazing lesson thank you for this
That's one of the great videos on your channel.
Please do next work on #MeshGradient.
Thank you for this tutorial!
