Visualizing the Biological

Below are both the original sketch and a color study for a recent project illustrating some Metzenbaum scissors spreading apart a bit of intestinal mesentery.  The render was done from observation during pig surgery, memory, and photos.  The final is in 3 variations – line, tone, and color, all done in only traditional media.  It was surprisingly refreshing to get away from Photoshop completely for a project, especially when digging into some watercolor work and figuring out the palette for the highly vascular tissue.

Finals to be posted later.
