Draws

Illustrations? I always wanted to write a children's book. I can always write the story, but I can never draw what I want to. I do not want to hire an author. I would really enjoy making illustrations on the computer if it is possible. The illustration effect I want to achieve, is on this website: http://www.bow-wowbooks.com/ I love the clean lines and the looks of the illustrations. Are these pictures really drawn by hand or computerized? Is there a program I can use to achieve this? Or do I have to do it on my own? Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Apparently, this book is just a collection of illustrations with no real text other than the captions for the pictures because the author never returned to the publishing house to deliver the manuscript and they were just published as a picutre book. I would like to use this book for an assignment for my students, but can't remember the name of it. If anybody knows which book I am referring to please answer this question.

How can I make my technical illustrations look as good as Bryan Christie's? I'm a grad student, and I often create technical drawings to illustrate ideas in my publications. Although I'm no artist and have no training, I like to think my illustrations turn out pretty well. For instance, here's something I created with OmniGraffle: http://tinyurl.com/yvm29b But then one day I saw a magazine article that had an illustration by Bryan Christie Design, and I was blown away: http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/images/aug06/images/gamef1.pdf There's no way I could make drawings look that good using OmniGraffle! Now, I don't have Christie's talent, but maybe if I had his software, my technical drawings would look a lot better. Is there any software on the mainstream market that can produce drawings similar to the one in that magazine? Or does Bryan Christie use some sort of high-end tool that only professionals can afford? Even if you don't know what he uses, any comments or suggestions on how to make good technical drawings would be appreciated.
