01The idea

NASA and outer space have always fascinated me. This series was a way to spend time with the machines themselves, drawing each crewed spacecraft inside and out.

02The system

The same rules for every craft. Navy linework in a few set weights, one orange halftone for highlights, a light gray field and a small label underneath.
