FAQs
What is scientific illustration?
Scientific illustration is a discipline in the service of scientific communication, which combines art with science to synthesize and present clear and objective visual scientific information, assisting scientists in their work of identifying, describing, classifying, and naming a species. Scientific illustration is, in most cases, a team effort—a scientific illustration results from collaboration between a scientist and an illustrator.
How does a collaboration with a scientific illustrator work?
Making a scientific illustration involves several steps: defining the purpose of the illustration, the target audience, the way of publication, the time available and the budget, the ways of making reference materials and relevant studies available to the illustrator for a good understanding of the subject to be illustrated, the delivery format of the final illustration.
Based on this information, the best solutions and techniques will be identified together to meet the requirements, as well as the number of corrections(that depend on the complexity of the illustrated subject). For the best possible results, open communication between the two parties is necessary.
