On this, I cannot do any better than citing here one of my earlier answers:

“According to the most preferred view of modern jurists,– who are aware of the context of the traditions you have referred to as well as the use of drawings and pictures as a powerful medium in the modern world, — drawing pictures for education or communicating ideas is excluded from the prohibition. The hadith is specifically referring to the context of making images for worship. It is understood that such laws of Shari’ah are rational in the sense that their rationale is discernible, and as such there is no need to generalize the law.

If Muslims do not use the medium for delivering the message, it would be used by others for goals that are subversive and unethical.

Therefore, as long as drawing pictures is done strictly as a medium for communication, there is no need to declare it as haram.”

Almighty Allah knows best.
