I know that these are merely images about people and their passions, but, the combination of man and machine is appealing. And, for me, fun to draw!The next two are a bit off-topic but within the scope of this post…
Illustrations of Machine

This illustration was created for a display poster, heralding the grand tradition of quality boat-building.
