yes. that is some nice work there. i am envious. tbh, drawing is something i could never be really good at. i mean THAT good.

scientists can be painters too!
I did a degree in chemistry many years ago, and was particularly interested in organic chemistry. looking back I think that that was because I really liked the visual and spatial aspect of that discilpine. That interest has extrapolated into fine art. I'm not very good at posting pics up, so I'll simply add a link to my on-line gallery.
...except that the board isn't allowing me to add a link :bawl:
I guess that stuffs that, but you can find my gallery by googling 'andy lloyd art'

I just watched To sir with love and it inspired this-
Illustrations from the book I'm working on - dunno if they class as "art" though.
The basic names - in the finished article (which will be CD-ROM or DVD-based and hypertext) clicking on any item will lead to in-depth descriptions, history and technical details.
One of the explanatory diagrams (in this case torsion bar suspension basics).
Another explanatory - Belleville spring suspension.

Er, too many.
Never mind, if the book ever sells...
Oh wait, the last time I got paid for my writing it didn't even really cover the cost of ink
The nasty part is that with it being 2D that's IT - any other views have to be started from scratch.
I now have a 3D package and although it'll take longer to do, once done I can view it from any angle (including interior and sections through) at the touch of a button.
[Edit] According to the draughting package I used I've spent a total of 12 hours and 48 minutes on it. But there are numerous other parts to the drawing, including the standard orthogonal views [EndEdit]

Man, Oli..that's precision work.
Maybe I'm going to post one of my oooooooooooooold shitty drawings....just for the sake of it.

What tank is it? Perhaps a 3D model already exists. Adobe Acrobat can render 3D models as black and white linework with hidden lines, like an illustration.
It's a variant of an inter-war British Vickers 16 tonner, and no: that's a one-off limited edition Oli special drawing.
The CAD package I'm now using (SolidWorks) can do that, while still leaving the drawing scalable and measurable (it's drawn full size).

What do you use as reference, do you have 2D plans?
Only the ones I created.
I work from photos, sketches and known dimensions, create a 2D (as stated in post #629, I did the orthographic views) drawing and then use that to calculate the dimensions in 3D.
It's going to be far far easier (although slightly more time-consuming) in the 3D package because it will create ALL the views I'll ever need at the same time.

I'd put up the version with my real name signature...but nah ;P. This was made via digital photo & photoshop. The original looks...well..I f*cked it up so I thought I'm going to take a pic of it and play with it in photoshop. :shrug:
Photoshop noob here. The original was just made with pencils...and this one got a watercolour effect added. But it's been ages I've made this...so I don't quite recall.
Haven't been artistically involved for ages. Sadly. -_-
Parrots are awesome...but...but...lemme go to that little dark corner of my room and play with my wrists now. :bawl:
Oh do that! I like owls. Especially tawny owls.
