Hand Illustration

Deep Anatomical Structures of the Right Anterior Hand - The project brief for this illustration was to show some part of the anatomy of the hand. I chose to show the deep structures like the ligaments mostly because I like the pattern they make on our fingers and I find it incredible that we can lift so much weight in our hands!

Early Days of Fertilization Illustration

First Week of Fertilization of the Embryo - This illustration is part of a much larger project about fertilization and development of the human embryo. I made a 3 minute animation showing how the embryo develops in week 4 using a 3D model I made. Throughout the animation, I use the 3D model to help explain how the embryo changes each day of week 4. The animation is hosted on a website I made with loads of other facts to help medical students learn about human development in utero. This illustration above goes along with the animation by providing some quick facts about week 1 of development to catch the viewer up to speed before watching what happens in week 4.
