Illustration from Chapter 3 of Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation by Dr Samuel Lam.
Like the drawing of the nose, I created a lot of sequential images for these illustrations that were critical for clear communication. At the beginning of writing this book, I had no idea how to convey consistently clean images that would not reveal the sloppy nature of the artist’s hand laboring repeatedly to create the same image. In the past, I used pen and ink to perform many of my drawings (which you can glimpse in my reception area if you peak through the glass where my books and journals are displayed). However, it was not until I discovered that the program Illustrator could be a force that would liberate me as an artist to create not only my drawings but has become the principal method by which I create my logos and other graphic art work. Being vector based, when I send these illustrations into the publisher, there is absolutely no loss in resolution. That is also why I can create a sign for my building and have it blown up to have the size of the building’s facade and have no degradation in quality.
