At times it is difficult for me to post assignments I’m working on because of my schedule. By day, I’m working on medical illustration assignments. You never know what will come in and that keeps things fresh. Sometimes I am asked to create simple anatomical drawings and other times, complicated surgical drawing depicting important procedures for surgical atlases.
In the evening, I am usually teaching, working on commissions or continuing with my own classical art independent studies. Thanks to my artistic training in engineering graphics/drafting, medical illustration, design, commercial illustration, fine art and classical portraiture, I feel at ease with all commissions I take in.
Finally, I have time to add a few newer post. I’ve made one more Bargue drawing, a copy of The Belvedere Torso. After the torso drawing, I made a drawing of the antique plaster cast, Michelangelo’s Lips of David. Im presently working on Michelangelo’s Ear of David along with a few orthopedic patient educational illustrations for one of my orthopedic clients.

In the coming days I will be posting some of the medical illustrations I have been working on, some very recent and others from older assignments that I hope you will find both informative and interesting.
take care,
Michael
