Illustration by Dr Sam Lam from Chapter 6 of his book “Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation”
I remember that when I created this image I was completely entranced with how Illustrator could be used to create subtle, gradients to evoke a three-dimensional structure, which is so important when illustrating the nose. As you can hear in my struggles with these drawings like any drawing, it is the artist’s effort to create a plausible three-dimensional world with a two-dimensional medium. This task becomes more difficult when scientific communication takes precedence over painterly expression of beauty.
