I like the end result, maybe just point that the gray lines over the bubble to indicate the transparency don’t look good, looks like incomplete. Maybe this can be of some help http://www.khulsey.com/student.html
Thanks.
Very cool and super detailed. Great job Mark!
Good to know for work with diagrams..coolie
I need to read it calmly. Awesome outcome!
Man that looks interesting, yet complicated, can’t wait to get started! Thanks in advanced.
This is a fantastic tutorial. There are a lot of designers out there, myself included, that have to do technical illustrations to show the inside parts of products in the manufacturing industry. The tutorial gives you a good start.
Here is another designer I came across that takes this to the ‘Nth” Power of doing technical illustration (not that i’m looking to plug the guy, but he does some amazing work) http://www.khulsey.com/
Wow – that illustration is amazing!!!
