#scientific illustration - visual expression of #communication for science



Scientific illustration by Lúcia Antunes
Scientific illustration corresponds to the visual component of communication for science. Essentially, it consists of the production of images, from its conception to its publication, to communicate science in the most varied areas, such as biology, geology, archeology and medicine.
These publications can be textbooks, textbooks, field guides, scientific magazines, gardening materials, museums, among many others.

Scientific illustration, as we understand it today, has existed since the early explorers sought to record their discoveries. Several had the soul of an artist and drew their findings, or delegated to engravers the task of materializing their descriptions.




In essence, he was born in the Renaissance, with the aim of accompanying scientific developments, with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it had a great development, with the race to classifications and descriptions of new species that were discovered both in old Europe and in the other worlds that were revealed to it.

It is a universe where professionals with transversal interests come together; biologists who like to draw, and artists who are passionate about science.

More important than the ability to draw is knowing how to observe, having perseverance and having the ability to understand what is observed and to pass this information to the drawing. In scientific illustration, there is no room for ambiguity, it is about disclosure and it must be done rigorously. A good scientific illustration is one that can combine scientific rigor with the beauty of drawing, or maintain a balance between these two strands.

In a scientific illustration, one does not seek a representation of the individual, be it plant or animal, its objective is an ideal representation of the species, that is, an individual that bears within itself the representative characteristics that define this species.

It reveals details that do not stand out in a photograph and gives emphasis to details that are intended to be highlighted. Through drawing, you can better observe, better understand, record and communicate facts and concepts of science.

It allows science to arrive, in images, not only to specialists, but also to the general public. Each scientific illustration tells a story, highlighting and visually explaining particular aspects of morphology, structures, organizations and relationships of various orders.

It is an art at the service of science whose purpose is to disseminate, raise awareness, identify species and show how magnificent the natural world is. This need to draw nature, rather than an exercise in aesthetic beauty, has the purpose of teaching and disseminating, using a technical language of art to communicate scientific themes.

Any illustration should begin with an exhaustive search for references - preferably from specialists - of studies and measurements. It is only after this preliminary work that one goes to the final piece.

The initial process is often as much or more time consuming than the completion of the final piece, that is, in the elaboration of the final piece there should be no doubt about any of the components of the illustration, it is already an accomplishment.

Photography, computers and new technologies are not a substitute for illustration; on the contrary, they correspond to an increase in possibilities and tools for the development of an illustration.

Traditionally, scientific illustration makes use of techniques such as ink, graphite, watercolor, colored pencils or the combination of several of them, and today illustrations are produced wholly using digital means, but although some techniques fit better to certain themes, is the methodology followed and the rigor obtained that are important, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
