How do I make a vector dotted ribbon?

by

I want to make a ribbon / wave of dots in Illustrator like the image below, but keep the perspective of the dots, so they don’t look flat.

I have not had any luck using the blend tool or envelope distort tools. The dots always get distorted or look flat.

Answer

Blending distorted circles:

  • From two circles located at the ends of the future blend, make three or four distortions following the perspective. More shapes = softer transition.
