The Illustration process: working with a medical illustrator
A great medical illustration is a collaboration between the medical team and the certified medical illustrator. To begin a project, the medical illustrator will meet with you and review your journal or editorial article. Illustrators can also meet with writers, physicians, surgeons, and researchers, review patient information and medical imaging, attend live surgeries, and review surgical videos. The illustrator will then translate that information into preliminary drawings for your review. These initial drawings will be followed by a series of progressively more detailed drawings, which the medical team will review after each iteration. The result is a full-color illustration that will help you communicate complex medical and surgical procedures in a beautiful, easy-to-understand format.
