One of the most underrated types of artwork is the cutaway illustration. The masterpieces that show the GUTS of our favorite mechanical marvels. The time put into these illustrations must be unthinkable to create so many details, and more times than not, fully sketched or painted by hand.
This is my personal favorite type of artwork. I've been sketching cars, gears, and mechanical stuff, for as long as I can remember, as well as done boat loads of actual board drafting... As in paper taped to a board, pencils, t-squares, triangles, eraser shields, and the whole bit. I have built up quite a collection of these type of pictures from all over. Time to start sharing what I've saved... You're going to start seeing a lot more of these here! And maybe I'll actually be able to sit down and start drawing my own again, one day... We'll see!
NOTE: None of these are mine and most of them I don't know who the artist is. If you are the artist of one of these or know who the artist is, please feel free to comment to let everyone know.
