Late last year, Think Publishing won the contract to redesign and publish the Motor Sports Association's quarterly magazine and they asked me to draw them a kart racing track diagram for a spread in the new-look Spring issue.

   As part of a  Graphic News  package ahead of the UK royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, I was tasked with creating an isometric cutaway diagram of St George's Chapel within the grounds of Windsor Castle.    It turned out to be one of the most challenging illustrations of my career and took eight days to complete. There was not a great deal of good reference out there, so I had to mostly make do with satellite imagery, copies of old plans, a couple of interior 360° panoramas and tourist photos. The following 100 screen grabs show how I created it using Adobe Illustrator  (images can be enlarged by clicking on them) .

I should point out from the get-go that this is an Adobe Illustrator illustration and not an exact CAD model or precise render of the inner workings of the upcoming XBox Series X games console. Think of it more as an indication of how it works, based on the best publicly available images from Microsoft. It was a relatively tricky graphic to do and had some quite fiddly elements to create in 3D. Here is the abridged process in 10 screen grabs. The images can be enlarged by clicking them, if you wish. I begin by taking some screenshots from the XBox website that show the console's innards. I skew one image into an approximation of a flat, face-on viewpoint and proceed to draw components. These are the elements laid on top of each other – making sure they all fit together. Time to extrude elements into 3D shapes, using reference photos from the XBox website. All the, now 3D, elements laid on top of each other – making sure they still fit together. Now to work out how to pull them ap...
