Medical Illustrations Created as Digital Artwork

With anatomical and artistic training, Joanna's medical art studio can provide varied, detailed and medically correct digital illustration and art. Covering a broad range of anatomy, scientific or biological subject matters, we are adaptable to creating digital art work that suits each project. Joanna uses many mediums, one of which is the digital media in the examples below.

Digital illustration techniques can be used to create realistic medical illustrations that are clear, colourful, appealing and flexible. This results in our clients getting vibrant and eye catching images that can be tailored to suit the needs for every project, no matter how big or small. The digital medium can be combined with traditional mediums too, to keep an artistic feel if necessary, pushing the boundaries with regards to what a medical illustrator can achieve. See our mixed media porfolio for examples.

How are Digital Medical Illustrations Produced....

Digital illustrations are produced in exactly the same way as any other project or illustration. To start, pencil sketches are produced and used as the base for the creation of colour or line artwork. The sketches are scanned so they appear on screen. With a digital pen, paints, airbrush to hand, the digital medium can create very exciting and realistic illustratons. Because digital uses a digital airbrush instead of a traditional paint brush, it is therefore referred to as digital art and painting.

Digital illustrating is also used to produce realism style art, just the same as any other medium. Just in this case, the computer has the brushes and graphic programmes installed. Containing a digital colour pallet, plus 3D and animation capabilities, the technology of digital art is a very exciting medium, resulting in unique and original pieces of artwork that benefits any customer project. The artwork has a clean and precise look about it, ideal for complex work, but also allows for production of more technical items such as medical instruments, buildings, hospital equipment extending even to figurative work. Its very versatile.

Digital artwork is also an ideal medium to build graphs and charts, and can include detailed realistic anatomy features, to really make the graph stand out. All illustrations can be incorporated into any form of media, from websites to leaflets. Digital medical illustrations can be supplied as vector images such as Illustrator files, or pixel such as Photoshop. The illustrations can also be animated to really generate interaction and interest to fit the brief.
