Illustrations/Infographics

A while ago Jos van den Broek (professor Medical Science Communication at the university I used to work) asked me to make illustrations and some infographics for a book he’s writing on evolution on the beach. I’m really thrilled with everything so far. I am working on eight illustrations/infographics, some of them small and some of them will be full pages and even one two page spread! The subjects range from joints in the human leg to the fins on waterbird paws and “ape hair”.

I’ll have to ask if Jos van den Broek minds if I put up sketches in my conceptual section, but at least once the book is published (in April) I hope to be able to add some examples to my scientific gallery.

Something Fishy

 

I wanted to try out my new Drawing tablet, so I decided to try a completly different style from what I usually draw. I must say I really like this. It’s simple and clean, almost as if it was made in Illustrator. And even though some people seem to feel real sympathetic to the worm, most love the octopus.
