Embedded Files
Collection of skulls created with various mediums, evoking the aesthetics and atmosphere of the Middle Ages (Dutch style).
I sometimes work directly from a cranial scanner.
I would like to improve my skills in teaching and medical illustration next year (3rd university cycle).
In the evolutionary lineage of hominids, four major families can be distinguished: the early hominins, the australopithecines, the paranthropines, and the Homo genus. Each family consists of multiple branches with distinct characteristics.
The illustration highlights the significant differences between the skull of Homo rhodesiensis and that of a 2024 Homo sapiens. These variations reflect major evolutionary changes, particularly in terms of size, shape, and brain structure.
Although the brain does not preserve over time, it leaves an imprint inside the skull. Thanks to imaging techniques such as endocast scanning, it is possible to study brain organization and its evolution through the ages.
Example about a project - one plate - on primates skulls anatomy (modern and ancient) using
Artificial intelligence, 3D reconstruction with photogrammetry, and Photoshop (layout and texts).
Full project contains thirty plates for educational purpose.
Compared Anatomy (two months) with Dorie Petrochko and Armand Morgan:
Example about detailed anatomy (full skeleton, muscles, whole giraffe) with graphite on paper, ink and Photoshop (texts/labels).
My final project with mixed media for the composition class with Yale Peabody Museum and Kate Samworth:
Graphite on paper, micron pen, alcohol markers (Winsor and Newton), colored pencils and Photoshop.
Morphology of plants (two months) and Art of Natural History: dissection and illustration with Susannah K. Graedel;
Natural History with Kate Samworth.
Botanical latin (two months) with the New-York Botanical Garden.
Golden ratio in nature. Graphite on paper (golden ratio with Photoshop). I was able to move the left fiddlehead to fit in the golden ratio.
ASBA (American Society of Botanical Artists) Virtual Symposium - March 20 to 23, 2024: For the program “Beyond precision, create art”. My illustration "Matteuccia struthiopteris Fiddleheads" was selected as one of the "masterpieces" of the year in terms of technique! Graphite on paper (HB 0.5 pencil lead) + Photoshop to move the first flower in the golden ratio.
For the ink class with Yale Peabody, reproduction of a nigella of Damas (original photo by Karl Blossfeldt). I used micron pen 0.005, ink wash and Rapidograph.
From first step...
(in progress)
...to final step!
Watercolor class with Dorie Petrochko. Preparation of a children's book for my four nieces...
Field sketching and nature journaling with Linda Miller.
Architecture & perspective... old stuff... A long time ago, I wanted to be an architect... Today it's really helpful for my work in 3D.
Opéra Garnier
French Riviera
Milan
Exercise about columns and perspective.
Inspired by Piranesi and his imaginary prisons.
Skulls (artist view - no scientific): colored pencils, ink, scratchboard, watercolor.
Colored pencils: Instructor Jan Prentice.
Ink & Scratboard: Instructor Kate Samworth.
I used graphite 0.5 HB, micron 0.05, and 2 alcohol markers (gray and black) for the false ink wash impression. There are small defects in the outline, because my ruler did not like the alcohol marker...
Science and art of children's books: Project in colored pencils and white gel pen on black paper. I read thirty scientific articles and books about math and physics of soap bubbles, and I resumed it in ten illustrations.
Or to create a new algebra method.
