Illustration by Dr Sam Lam from his book “Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face” -Chapter 5
This illustration comes from my second published book, and I was able to refine my drawing skills that I learned from my first book. I particularly like this drawing because it conveys multiple layers of depth despite the flatness of the technology. Using strategically nuanced screens of which I could alter the transparency, I was able to create the illusion of three-dimensionality. This was before I discovered the wonders of the Corel Painter program. However, I believe that the intricate anatomic layers would still have been best communicated using simply the Illustrator program, which this drawing exclusively relied on.
