Ouch! Did Homeland Security get a copy of this? :)
Yeah, I would be anonymous too. :)
I'm laughing - but on a serious note, most any better tutorial for
drawing machine parts for display (as opposed to shop needs) should have
something on the subject. So should any book on drawing anything that
displays chrome parts. Holographic look and feel will need something
better than a regular printer.
If you can get by with just a visual, look up Eric Christensen's
watercolors which have both glass and (sometimes) metal. In general I
find most "art" to be very overly priced. I recently saw one of Eric's
originals (as opposed to a lithograph). Priced at tens of thousands of
US$ it was still not pricey. If you can duplicate what you see - these
might be helpful.
