Westwood Medical Illustrations | AHA! A House for Arts [Clip]

Bill Westwood was flabbergasted when he received a C in an undergraduate design class, so he decided to confront his teacher about the low grade. Little did he know that the resulting conversation would introduce Bill to the field of Medical Illustration, and change the course of his future. Learn more: wmht.org/aha

Thank you for sharing your story. I've often marveled at your illustrations and even tried to mimic it in 3D.
In 1988 I was introduced to an IBM 286 with a whopping capacity to represent 256 colors on a screen at one time. It was only a few years later when I discovered 3D and then after that I took interest in 3D animation. I wasn't long before I met a doctor who needed help with his presentations. I knew then a career in art was a wonderfully plausible option.

A sublime experience for me to watch, how illustrations are made. I am really passionate about illustrations from my school days, want to learn. Is there any way to learn making illustrations.

You can take fine art courses and a masters degree in medical illustration. You can start out by practising simple organs, watching yt tutorials and other artists.
