The illustrations below are all illustrations that were commissioned and were illustrated by Adrian Cartwright. Illustration styles range from simple line drawings through to complex multi layered photo retouch illustrations showing cutaways and transparent ghosted layers, and everything in between.

Most of the work is now digital, but sometimes follow traditional illustration methods. “I often sketch out my ideas first on paper, this allows my creativity to be free of the limitations you often get with digital methods.“

Established in 1990, as a technical illustrator, Adrian liked to keep his folio open to new styles and techniques… ” Often an illustrator will find a particular medium and stick with it, but I like to try new ways to work. You could say that my work is eclectic, but much of that is the product of a varied customer base.” There is a style of illustration, simply from his hand, but perhaps also a way of thinking too. Cutaways especially have been honed over the years to good effect, and the same goes with exploded view illustrations.

Adrian has also produced illustrations in water colour, pastels, airbrushing, cut paper, low poly and professional software such as Adobe illustrator, photoshop and 3d modelling software like C4d and Sketchup.

Application for the illustrations range from Architectural, editorial, sales, promotional, education, marketing and technical.
