Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

My name is Ryan Bitinis, and I am an Industrial Designer and Engineering CAD Technologies graduate with over 15 years experience in the visual arts industry as a professional concept artist, illustrator, and painter.

I am a friendly, reliable team player who specializes in production process development and improvement. I thrive on creating high-quality, accurate parts, tools, and prototypes that meet and exceed customer expectations.

3D Modeling

I work in SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Fusion, Creo 7 & 8, and Rhino 8 to create accurate, production-ready 3D models. I also have over three years of experience with rapid prototyping, including 3D printing, model making, and process and material experimentation.

2D Drawings

Work showcased here was done in AutoCAD, but I also develop 2D drawings in SolidWorks and Creo. This set of drawings includes a custom font I developed in AutoCAD called “Bithynica.”

Blueprinting

I completed these blueprints in SolidWorks as an addendum to two of the parts showcased in the 3D Modeling section.

Digital Illustration

As opposed to drawing over imported images, I draw digital paintings and illustrations by hand in Photoshop using a stylus and Cintiq. I follow traditional oil painting creation methods, including a sketch, underpainting, and color glaze.

Hand-drawn Illustration

My sketch books are the testing ground for ideas — a place to plan, imagine, iterate, and perfect an idea. I believe sketches should be fully realized and dimensioned before moving on to the next creation phase. These sketches were done with white and graphite pencils, charcoal, or ink on paper.
