Abstract:
A fast and accurate way for making perfect scientific
illustrations is described. A pencil drawing or a photo is scanned. The
resulting file is imported into Adobe Illustrator and the line drawing is made
using a WACOM Intuos digitiser board. After the habitus and detail drawings
have been made, plates can be arranged using the same software. Lettering and
arrows can be added very quickly. The plates can be exported as graphics files
for printing or further manipulation.
Key words: methods, scientific illustrations, digital inking,
