Scientific Illustration with Trenton Jung


This class is all about drawing – with a scientific twist! We will explore the basics of

Scientific Illustration like observational drawing, measuring/scaling, and rendering our

illustrations with graphite and pen/ink through the study of various specimens. This

workshop is less about making a perfect page and more about learning how to see:

shapes, rhythms, textures, colors, and the living details we usually don’t give ourselves

the time to notice. Let yourself slow down, investigate, and translate from pencil to

paper the intricacies of flora and fauna from the natural world around us.
