Throat Illustration Process

Our assignment was to create two full-color illustrations of the throat: one at an anterior view and one with the a posterior-tilted skull.

Textbook Illustrations

We were assigned two topics, which we designed and illustrated for hypothetical publication in a textbook. The first diagram is a comparison/contrast of gap junctions, tight junctions and desmosomes; the second diagram depicts the translation of mRNA at a ribosome.

Anterior self portrait

Self Portrait Underpainting

Attempt to try and retain dimensionality in the face by being loose and painterly. The final will have to be much tighter in order to get information across.

Hope to post more layers soon, working off of original sketches.

Anatomical Drawing I Cross-Section

Final project for Anatomical Drawing I. Completed in Photoshop.

The purpose of the project was the render a diagonal cross-section through the gut, illustrating the pancreas' relationship/interaction with the other organs in the abdominal cavity.

Will probably upload a version with labels sooner or later...

Week 1 Sketchbook Assignments

It's good to be back in the swing of things again with class. These are our first week's worth of sketchbook drawings for Anatomical Figure Drawing.
