The illustrations were done in, well, Illustrator, with an angled brushstroke to kind of simulate the look of a flat-nib pen.

The lines were inked traditional old-school style then scanned and appear here slightly larger than actual size. The photo of my ruler is... a photo of my ruler. I drew them, but not by hand.
