Brachial Plexus and Carbon Dusting
This project was my first time carbon dusting, a traditional technique for medical illustration. A small dusting of a brain was made for practice, before completing the plexus illustration, which depicts the brachial plexus and it's branching that innervates the muscles of the upper limb. The carbon dusting was scanned and then colorized in Adobe Photoshop.
Carbon dust of plexus and nearby anatomy before color was added.
As part of preparing for a project using the carbon dusting technique, I made a small practice piece of a brain.
