Why Use Natural Science Illustration?

Illustration is able to “see into” the parts of a structure that photography and editing can’t capture, making it a better tool for educational images. Adding visual aids to research articles can increase the likelihood of being published.

It can also be used to speculate the appearance of a species or a stage of life that is extinct or rarely visually documented. Scientific and nature illustrators work often with palaeontologists and other scientists to visually re-construct various creatures.

Natural science illustration features life-like illustrations that communicate complex information in an engaging and simple manner. These can be but are not limited to: infographic pieces, realistic depictions of a plant or animal species, or an illustration of a life cycle.
