Instructional tutorial graphics

I am trying to get someone to create instructional graphics to be used in tutorials.

They would be real-to-life, full-color drawings about 2" by 2"

I.e., 6 drawings that show in 6 steps how to tie your shoelaces.

The best example I can think of is like high school science book illustrations.

They look very real and they're transparently descriptive.

Where would I find examples of this kind of thing online or anywhere so that I could post it as attachment examples on an Elance project.

Or, where would I find people that do this kind of work? Is it a sub-specialty, i.e. tutorial illustrator

I assume that the person would be hand drawing these and then getting them on the computer.

All the Best,

Taylor

You might want to try searching for a 'technical illustrator' rather than 'tutorial illustrator'. Places like freelancers dot com can give you an idea of the type of work that these people do.

Bit of a mystery as to what these pictures would be of? To do what you want in your example: you would simply take 6 photographs of the stages, and reduce them to whatever size you need (bear in mind that small images like you suggest, would normally be linked to a big version if the tute was online). The same can be said of computer tutorials; you can take screenshots of the stages and so on... If your images need to be of something in real life you cannot take pics of, could you not use basic drawn environments instead of anything too detailed?
