Ever since I saw an architectural presentation with these high contrast drawings, I fell in love with them and been trying to do these for my own drawings. I couldnt figure it out how so I would manually trace all the lines of the shadow and hatch them and they would take me DAYS to complete. Thank you for the tutorials and inspiration!

Thank you very much, Tom, for creating these most useful tutorials. I have shared your profile to some of my fellow uni peers (all the way in Sydney, Australia).

if you preserve the scale, you have to move the 2d drawing to 0, 0 so that is shows up in illustrator on the artboard

Hey Tom,
i am really enjoying your tutorials.
I just feel like some of the workflows you are showing could be more efficient in Rhino8.

Can i look forward to some R8 Tutorials?
I really would like to ditch Illustrator - two ok tutorials i found so far:


Cheers for your excellent and continuous work!
