Ever wonder what it takes to create a cutaway illustration of cruise ship?

Check out technical illustrator Kevin Hulsey's website for a behind the scenes look at what is involved.

Really?!! I would love to have something like that! Do you know if they were standard promotional materials or only issued for a specific event/sale?

i also love cutaways drawings - they are pure fun!
the place where cutaway drawings are shown in the brochures are (naturally) my favourite section i a brochure...
which line has the best drawings?
i especially like those of RCL - they are clear as glass. those of P&O (Adonia) are the worst i've seen - with a grey shadow that makes the ship look gray rather then the actuall colour - white

Just imagine that in the old days they had to draw them with pencils and rulers, and no Ctrl Z key to press either!

I use the same drawing program for my side elevations as was used to create this cutaway and I can say it is actually not so different as drawing by hand (or by mouse in this case) and it involves the same artistic talent when you draw by hand. Anyway I think the drawings of Kevin Hulsey are excellent.

I think the title of worst goes to P&O Aus attempt at doing a cutaway of Pacific Sun. These truely looked bad... sorry to be harsh but it looked like a kid had done it with a basic computer program.
