One thing I enjoy doing when restoring animatronic figures is making multi-view drawings of every measurement I take for archival purposes. Before I apply cosmetics to a mechanism, I take the opportunity to intensely measure each and every single part and assembly of a character.
It is great practice to keep measuring and drawing skills sharp, but it also allows me to build a reference manual for these figures. You could build a 1:1 character of the original with every single drawing I've made.
Here, I just wanted to showcase this extra bit of behind-the-scenes work that I do, on top of the actual restoration that can easily be overlooked.

Dimensions are censored due to the fact that hand drafting takes a lot of time. Between measuring thoroughly, hand-drawing isometrics and multi-views, organizing them, and eventually making 3D models and proper engineering drawings off of them, this process takes a lot of dedication to finish.
(My portfolio is intended to provide examples of my various skillsets, and to get to know me as an artist; therefore, the selection of work shown is casual and not crafted to suit any particular need.)
