You can always try isometric, in which reduction is constant for all
axis (or discarded... long time since I do tech draw). So it would be
ortho option with the proper positioning.

In blender, just quick idea, maybe a lattice and ortho.

Then you have to look at non realistic shading like the one in
http://www.luceri.it/ or the ideas from (doable with blender ramps?)
