For Digital Modeling 2, at Sheridan College, I digitally modeled a cedar-strip canoe. 
The assignment was to model a boat (or other hydrodynamic watercraft). 
First, I researched how cedar-strip canoes are made; by watching YouTube videos. Then I searched for detailed, high-res orthographic canoe plans. Then I inserted the plans into Fusion 360, and traced over the them. 
Digital modeling is so fun.
