I am going to write some guides and I'd like to start to make some beautiful illustrations/pictures.

This kind of pictures are often seen in product manuals I think. How can I make my own?

Is there any software which can do this? Or online web tools...

Thanks a lot!

Here is the example picture.

Broadly speaking, that's called 'technical illustration'. More specifically, that's an 'exploded view'.

'How' you do that is a rather huge question. Typically, it involves going to school for architecture, mechanical drafting, technical illustration, industrial design or the like. It's a skill that isn't just picked up from a tutorial.

As for software, you could use a wide variety of tools to varying degrees...CAD (AutoCad, SketchUp, Turbocad), illustration (Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), or good ol' paper, pencil, markers and maybe a drafting table.
