I indeed learned to draw by looking at other examples and drawing - trying to match it.
The secret is in drawing what you need to know... NOT what is exactly there... if that makes sense. Chiz is a good illustrator.. and his illustrations convey the essence of the object displaying information. So it is not exactly art.. it is depiction. using convention and line to show the information. It is as Chiz says...
