A course by Julia Rouaux
Julia Rouaux has always been passionate about nature, even as a child, and she never missed an opportunity to draw it. This led her to take a scientific illustration course after completing her degree in biology and, ultimately, to combine both of her passions while pursuing a PhD in natural sciences.

She has created illustrations for scientific studies, informative publications, undergraduate and postgraduate theses, and educational materials including images for three illustrated guides on mammals from South America and around the world.
