While I love creating fanciful and whimsical artwork, my formal training in college was in technical illustration. I learned how to read blueprints and engineering drawings and turn them into “3-D” illustrations.
Oftentimes I had no print to work from and had to simply observe an object and measure its dimensions, as was the case with this ratchet strap.
Most of my technical illustrations were done in Macromedia Freehand, which is, sadly, no longer available. I still keep an old copy of the software to work in as I find it so familiar and powerful for this type of work.
