IsabelAracama Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Scientific illustration: Entomology. (Papilio machaon). I have used 3 brushes, vectors & bitmaps. I also experimented how nicely the expand stroke feature works (antennas). Made them in a swoosh, I even heard it hhhh Project bigger here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/91320519/EntomologicalScientific-Illustration Chul, Patrick Connor, Alfred and 35 others 38 Quote isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chul Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Simply beautiful! I admire those who take the time to create true to life images & share them with the rest of. It's inspiring especially since my preference is to use a camera since my drawing skills are not so great. Thanks! IsabelAracama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuli Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I had to read a couple of times what I’m seeing here, and even now I can’t believe my eyes this is a drawing; beyond beautiful, thank you for sharing with us!

VectorWhiz Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 An other fantastic piece you created of which there are more to see on your Behance page. Did you use the mouse of a drawing tablet?

I don't feel comfortable laying nodes with the pen as much as I cannot paint with the mouse.

I can't choose either, especially thinking how much I love reds and flaming colours, but I can say that I consider this one superior in result, at least technically.

I put gradients when doing other type of illustrations, i.e. cars, as it provides a feeling of environment to them and I think it contributes to the overall final look in most cases. But being this one a scientific illustration I can't do that, especially cause there are conventions and light is usually supposed to come from left to right. Here an illustration where I feel gradients are a good choice though: https://www.behance.net/gallery/31578563/1957-Chevy-Corvette-Roadster-Affinity-D-Vectors Cecil 1 Quote isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MmmMaarten Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Amazing work! Also the other butterflies and also animals on your Behance page. Incredible. Such details and colors and textures while never to shouting. Love it! BTW Also like your clean UI design for the Redominator. There are a lot of crowded or shouting plugin interfaces around, but this one just breaths quality and envites to play with it.

I try to put a lot of attention in balancing colours and composition, and every detail matters so much and affects the whole. Always look for that very special something in artwork that I know it's universal, and makes one look at something understanding that "it has it" . In UI design, I also try to combine usability while keeping it very attractive to the eye. The downside is that I am seldom satisfied hhh.

Although the grand scheme of things is nice for overview, real magic happens in the details.

Jonopen Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I’m always thrilled to see your wonderful illustrations and especially this Swallowtail butterfly. This clearly demonstrates brilliantly both your technical illustrative skills and what can be achieved using Affinity Designer. I’ve longed to see a Swallowtail flying in the wild. I've read there’s a rare subspecies (ssp. britannicus) that's confined to the Norfolk/Cambridge areas of the UK. Maybe one day.

Yes, actually I based this one illustration specially on the britannicus subspecies which apparently has darker marks than the continental counterpart although I get a hard time still to distinguish them at a glance... For what I know it is not so widespread in the UK so... good luck finding one Jonopen 1 Quote isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
