Technical illustration No 2

Recommended Posts

Having used Affinity to do my first technical illustration on a computer I have now completed my second one using a perspective grid that I created in Adobe Illustrator. This time I decided to go for full colour. The perspective was in the top layer and could be switched in or out as I desired. This has been removed as it is not necessary once the drawing has been completed.

 

This is a machine that I'm making for sharpening lawnmower blades. The blades and the gear wheel were quite a challenge. Interestingly Serif's DrawPlus had a very useful quick shape for creating gear wheels. Perhaps Affinity will eventually have such a feature.

Wow, truly amazing! Great style, the offspring of hyper-realism and flat/technical... Love it!

Thanks MEB.

Having made the comment about drawing gear wheels using DP, I noticed that Affinity Beta has the same facility called 'Cog'!
