Illustration by Dr Samuel Lam from his book titled ”Complementary Fat Grafting”-Chapter 3
Like the illustration in Chapter 4, I performed this illustration using a combination of Corel Painter and Adobe Illustrator programs. I think I spent countless hours tinkering with the beautiful qualities of Corel Painter doing this painting. I particularly liked mixing oil pastels as I applied nose highlights onto the oil painted face. It actually reminded me of my father’s wonderful artwork that he did with oil paints and with oil pastels. He was truly a master artist (and physician). He painted from newspapers clippings, from photographs, from imagination, and also from the Great Masters, all of which hang in my house as a tribute to his artistic legacy. My book in which these illustrations were featured was dedicated in loving memory to my father, who compassionately shared his service both for those whom he cared for professionally and also in his wonderful expression as a fellow artist.
