Here are some more by David Preiss, who I think has a little bit more creative coloring schematic in some of his work (or, he has the freedom to do so).

Instruction illustration: Inspiration
In looking up instructional illustrations, I found that there are fewer artists out there who do it, or who at least advertise it on their portfolios. Understandably, vector drawings with a very crisp, outlined style is very popular; particularly a bold outline around objects and thinner lines for details. Here are two examples below, by Bryon Thompson (top) and Colin Hayes (bottom).

OK, not so much for illustration's sake, but still great inspiration for that dark comedy side of instruction. McSweeny in general may be good for the illustration inspiration, or for a good laugh.
