Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode a flat landscape of layered mountains with pine trees and a lake using atmospheric perspective to create a sense of depth Let's get started Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital We're entering the module on flat and isometric illustration Flat illustration uses plain colors but still creates a sense of depth thanks to atmospheric perspective The farther away, the paler the colors Create a horizontal artboard

Step 1: Sky and Sun

Draw a sky box with a gradient from pale orange at the bottom to light purple at the top then draw a pale yellow round sun half-submerged on the horizon Draw the farthest row of mountains with a pencil tool, with wide sharp peaks Give them a pale purple color close to the sky color to make them feel distant

Step 3: Middle and Front Mountains

Draw the second layer of mountains that are lower with a darker purple color then the third layer in front with the darkest color Three layers with color gradients directly create a sense of depth

Step 4: Pine Trees

Create one pine tree from three stacked triangles and a small rectangular trunk then group them Duplicate with the Offset tool vary their sizes and spread them along the front mountain's base

Step 5: Lake and Reflection

Draw the lake at the bottom Duplicate the sun Reflect it downward with the reflection Lower the opacity then cut so it only appears inside the lake as a reflection

Step 6: Organizing Layers

Separate the elements into sky mountains trees and lake so they are easy to edit Save and export the illustration

Done!
