Technical Illustration is the use of illustrations to convey information visually of a technical nature. Technical illustrations can be components of a technical drawing or diagram. Technical illustrations generally aim "to produce expressive images that effectively convey certain information through the visual channel to human observers".
Technical illustrations generally have to describe and explain the subject to a non-technical audience. Therefore, visual images must be accurate in terms of dimensions and proportions, and should provide "an overall impression of what the object is or not, to increase audience interest and understanding".

Jenis komunikasi
Currently, technical illustrations can be divided into three categories based on the type of communication:
- Communicating with the general public: notifying the general public, such as illustrated instructions found in manuals for cars and consumer electronics. This type of technical illustration contains simple terminology and symbols that can be understood by ordinary people and sometimes called creative technical illustrations.
- Special techniques or scientific communication: used by engineers/scientists to communicate with their peers and in specifications. The use of technical illustrations has complex terminology and special symbols; Examples are the fields of atomic energy, aerospace and military/defense. These areas can be broken down into mechanical, electrical, architectural, and more.
- Communication between highly skilled experts: used by engineers to communicate with highly skilled people in the field, but not engineers. An example of this type of technical illustration is the illustration found in the user/operator documentation. This illustration can be very complicated and has jargon and symbols not understood by the general public, such as illustrations that are part of the instructional material for operating a CNC machine.
Image type
The main drawings in technical communication are:
- conventional line drawings,
- blurred display image,
- cutaway images, and
- clip art images

Techniques
Technical illustrations use some basic mechanical image configurations called projection aksonometri. This is:
- Parallel projection (italics, planometric, isometric, dimetric, and trimetric), and
- many kinds of perspective projections (with one, two, or three missing points).
Computer-assisted technical illustrations and designs can also use 3D and solidbody projection, such as rapid prototyping.
- In the natural sciences, "scientific illustrations" refer to drawing styles using simple line and line techniques to convey information with minimum artistic interpretation.
