Do you want to learn advanced illustration techniques to improve your scientific communication?

 

This 3-day workshop offers the next level of graphic design and visual communication theory, achieved through both hand and digital drawings.

It is specifically designed for those that have already taken  an (introductory) Scientific Illustrations course with Pina Kingman.

When: 30. November – 2. December 2022

Registration deadline: 1. November 2022

Location: Online

Teacher: Pina Kingman

Registration:  https://nettskjema.no/a/265988

The introductory course focuses on flat illustration techniques. Building from these principles, the advanced course introduces how to add 3D volume and texture to individual elements in a composition. We will discuss the theory behind working with light, shadow and textures. We will practice how to think about these concepts with hand-drawing exercises. We will practice implementing these concepts in digital illustration. Finally, there will be time to implement these concepts in your own illustrations with support from the instructor.
In order to have the opportunity to illustrate your own research with support from peer-to-peer reviews and support from the instructor, you must come to the course with a partially completed illustration. If you are not already working on an illustration, then prepare to set aside about 5 hours of pre-course homework. You will receive detailed instructions on how to do this homework and what is expected of you through the Teachable platform, and much of this is repetition from the introductory course. The only major difference is that this is more self-directed than in the introductory course.

  • Any other illustration work that you think is relevant.
  • The subject of the illustrations do not need to be science related, any subject matter will do.
  • All portfolio illustrations must be sent together as one PDF document, or send a link to a portfolio website or Behance portfolio or links to a social feed.

Admission

This workshop will allow for approximately 20 participants.
