Hello Adobe Community,
I am trying to create the illusion of depth by adding a 3D effect to a curved road I have illustrated. However, when I apply any of the 3D effects, the road becomes distorted. I also tried using the pen tool to accomplish this effect, but I am struggling to make it look seamless. Here is the road:
I want to draw lines straight down from the edges of each curve to make the road look like it's elevated.This is a rough example of what I'm going for using the pen tool:
Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated!
Best,
Tif
I ultimately worked with the pen tool to achieve the effect I was look for.
Thank you all for your responses! Unfortunately the perspective grid and extrude effect were giving me very different results.

I would suggest using Perspective Grid.

You could use 3D > Extrude for the second part of your request.

The biggest problem with Extrude is the road cannot be 100% Black or it will be impossible to differentiate between the sides of the extruded road and the road itself. Try making the road about 60% Black. Please see attached.
