I highly recommend the program to anyone interested in the field--they have an exceptional focus on technology and the resources available to the students are unsurpassed.<br /><br />If anyone (senami?) has questions about the U of T program feel free to email me!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077361006350791749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-57517075188247625062009-04-24T10:37:00.000-04:002009-04-24T10:37:00.000-04:00Victor's right- the powered carbon dust is applied...Victor's right- the powered carbon dust is applied to the board with natural bristle paintbrushes, with detail work done with carbon pencils and black gauche. The clay surface is scraped at the very end for crisp highlights.<br /><br />senami-- I'm a medical illustrator- graduate of the dearly departed University of Michigan program. If you want to learn more about the field, I suggest checking out the Association of Medical Illustration's website, www.ami.org. <br /><br />I think a graduate (or undergraduate) degree in medical illustration specifically is important in becoming a medical illustrator. It's more than just being able to draw and knowing anatomy-- in school, we learn traditional and digital techniques specific to med ill, and also such soft skills as how to work with physicians, working in the OR, etc. The class at US Santa Cruz should be a good intro to the field.

I am a junior in high school and am seriously considering these careers! These posts have been incredibly helpful. It's really good to hear that they concentrate on 3D as well as 2D.<br /><br />This summer, I've signed up to take Science Illustration courses at the University of Santa Cruz in California. ( Although, I heard that their graduate SI program has been closed down.)<br /><br />Just a quick question for anyone who happens to know the answer. If one majored in Art and Biology in college, is graduate school necessary?<br /><br />Thanks again James! You're a really amazing teacher.Chinamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191312279870624251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-42395783668705930602009-04-23T19:16:00.000-04:002009-04-23T19:16:00.000-04:00The carbon dust is basically powdered charcoal.

I believe the clay coated board is so that you can incise or abraid through the clay to expose a white surface for fine detail, like scratchboard or sgraffito.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334033221403464054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-61159640562758922822009-04-23T13:32:00.000-04:002009-04-23T13:32:00.000-04:00I second Smarty.I second Smarty.Erik Bongershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409523352634066030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-53702861921308013952009-04-23T11:41:00.000-04:002009-04-23T11:41:00.000-04:00'carbon dust on clay-coated board' I've not heard ...'carbon dust on clay-coated board' I've not heard of this before.
