Medical Montage Illustration

This project involves the process of creating an editorial illustration from concept to thumbnail sketches, to refined sketches, value comps, final drawing, and rendered illustration.

The subject matter must be either medical or scientific related, and should be a montage composition that involves a shift from micro to macro.

The technique is mixed media-markers and neutral colored pencils on tonal Canson paper.
