Anatomical illustration is applied to medicine, forensic studies, evolutionary biology, and other scientific fields of research. Experience different ways of seeing and understanding the body by sketching organs and bones under the guidance of professional medical illustrators. Observe a presentation on medical illustration, and learn basic drawing techniques.

The following materials are provided:
