Scientific Illustration Series
~ scientific studies of botanical species and insects ~
While completing a university course in 2023, I was required to study and draw two species throughout the semester. I chose both the 'monarch butterfly' and the Australian 'eucalyptus tree', and completed these drawings through the use of graphite pencil on course watercolour paper.
​
The third study is a felt tip drawing of the common strawberry plant. I then digitally colourised the drawing and annotated it for a poster design.
