If you are a fan of biology and drawing, in scientific illustration you will find your perfect refuge. Diana Flores Blázquez is a Mexican illustrator specialized in scientific or naturalist digital illustration, who collaborates with universities, research centers, and magazines, besides having her own brand, NI: Nature Illustration, through which she sells her creations in the form of decorative and fashionable objects.
In this course, learn how to create two types of repeated patterns based on a species of beetle called Mecynorrhina Polyphemus. From a detailed observation of the species, elaborate several drawings with graphite and import them into Adobe Photoshop to finish them, export them, and then print or upload online.

In addition, meet the artists and illustrators who inspire her and have shaped her work over the years. Then she talks to you about the final project of the course and the materials you need.
