I came across the work of Tomislav Tomic while browsing the AOI portfolios and these images caught my eye. He has produced these intricate drawings and made them into some form of diagram. I can imagine these as posters, a book illustration, a museum display or even on screen as interactive educational material. It got me thinking about how my love of drawing natural forms could be used for more scientific and educational purposes. Also, just because the original purpose for an illustration is informative does not mean it can't also be appreciated as a stand alone image on products or as prints.
On a side note, my dad collects Observers books and other old non-fictions so we have always had quite a collection of these kind of books at home. I remember drawing from the diagrams in these books as a child and I think this might be where I got this interest from. The books span so many different topic beyond nature but the standard, black line work is appropriate for all of them. I think a personal project for me in the future would be to produce a collection of drawings inspired by these books.
