CAD the Old-school Way

Computer Aided Drawing (Design?) technical drawings etc. but using guidelines in Adobe Illustrator… I have been using Illustrator a bit more often lately because of its wonderful vector capabilities. And I came across some rather interesting tutorials and lessons for Illustrator and Photoshop this morning. Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop Tutorials & Lessons. (These are a lot more technical than your average eye-candy “tuts” of the fancy tutorial sites.)

I am probably not going to run off and try to draw that car, but it was fascinating seeing the process. And you never know if some of the techniques can be used in other connections. I think a real CAD application or 3D program would be better than “freehand” in Illustrator but nevertheless interesting.
