Scientific Illustration for Pattern Design
“We have reached the end of the course! I am very grateful that you have accompanied me in this process, which has been enormously enjoyable. I hope you have learned a lot from the species of beetle we work with and want to continue learning about different species with which we share life on our planet. Remember that it is important to keep practicing and that, even if you are in an urban environment, there are always many opportunities to observe city bugs and learn from them. Take photos of the ones you find and make new patterns for them! If you have a favorite species, look up photos online to see all its characteristics and draw it physically or digitally. Any questions you have I will be in the forum to talk with you and see all your progress, share what you learn with other colleagues, because their observations will be as useful as mine in your work process. Many hugs and see you soon! ”
