Welcome to my World of Medical Illustration and Fine Art

At the intersection of science and art, the creative process is where ideas transform into impactful visuals. Whether you’re seeking detailed medical illustrations or evocative fine art, my work begins with understanding your unique vision. From there, I guide you through a collaborative journey that brings your concepts to life.

Explore the roadmap below to see how we move from initial ideas to finished masterpieces. Each step is designed to ensure clarity, precision, and creativity, resulting in visuals that not only communicate but also inspire.

1. Consult

A project begins with a phone, email, or in-person consultation to discuss the project’s subject and requirements. For example, how will the illustrations, animations, or media be used? What reference materials are available? What are the deadline and budget? What reproduction rights are needed?

Then, I prepare a proposal for the client, including a detailed description of the work scope, an estimate of fees, a process for approval and changes, delivery dates, and a licensing contract describing reproduction rights, payment schedule, and other terms and responsibilities.

Once we have negotiated the price and licensing rights, both parties sign the proposed contract, and the work begins. Sometimes, an advance payment may be required to start work.

I will research the subject, review references, discuss key concepts with the client or a content expert, and begin preliminary sketches or storyboards. Subsequently, I send preliminary sketches or storyboards to the client for careful review and correction. One to two rounds of sketch revisions are typical.

Additionally, the client may need to approve an animation project’s motion tests, voice-over, and music soundtrack. Thorough communication between the client and me, the illustrator, is crucial. Errors and changes discovered after client approval of sketches may be labor and cost-intensive to repair.

I create the final illustrations or animations after the client approves sketches or storyboards in writing. After thoroughly reviewing drawings, changes to the final artwork should be unnecessary or minimal.

The final artwork is sent for client review. Upon approval in writing, the high-resolution files are delivered via the internet by a safe connection. Finally, I’ll send the (last) invoice with the final product. Prompt payment is essential as the grant of licensing rights is typically subject to a charge in full.
