The Art of Producing Medical Illustrations for the Surgeon
A medical artist will work with the surgeon or medical expert to produce the illustrations, as often these areinnovative and new techniques. Working closely together, the surgeon will provide written text or even basic outline drawings. The artist will provide pencil sketches for review, before completingthem as final medical illustrations.
The end result is accurate, anatomically correct, yet eye catching and appealing medical images that tell a story, whilst also breaking up long pages of text in a medical paper. For a surgeon to be able to communicate their new technique in a visual manner, makes for a more engaging and memorable paper. The medical art can also be extended for website use, as handouts at presentations or leaflets as they don't have to be confined to the paper.
The Surgeon can Choose a Style to Suit their Specialist Area
With a range of mediums and styles to hand when creating medical art, the surgeon can decide the best method, or what suits the budget, each time. Joanna can provide a range of illustrative mediums in colour digital, pen and ink, pastel, mixed media and pencil. Styles available are providing as 2D full colour illustrations, charts and graphs, PowerPoint presentations or animations or line drawings. New requests and ideas are always welcomed.
