Approach

Illustrations of the brain in-situ are common tasks for medical illustrators, particularly in editorial or patient education contexts. Here, the objective was to create a self-portrait in your own style and ghost in the brain with correct orientation.

In this illustration, a right oblique view shown slightly from below was selected to show the fascinating inferior side of the brain. The brainstem was included, as well as some cranial nerves, to foster further appreciation for the anatomy. Colour rendering was reserved for the brain to help it stand out as the central subject.
