Partial transcription of the video
“ Drawing Volumetric Shapes In this lesson, you'll learn about linear perspective and drawing volumetric shapes. We'll start with very basic shapes and then we'll elaborate on them by drawing a more complex shape. To draw smaller objects realistically, it's best to use a perspective with two vanishing points. First, you can draw the horizon, a horizontal line, and then draw a horizontal line a bit lower, on which you'll start the first vertical line of the cube. From this intersection, you go from one vanishing point to the other vanishing point. All the vertical lines stay vertical and all...”

A course by Ella Nitters
Ella Nitters is a medical and scientific illustrator from Rotterdam, Netherlands. As a child, she was phobic of human anatomy, especially skeletons, but, influenced by her grandfather, was always interested in drawing. Her degree in industrial design engineering from Delft University of Technology helped her consolidate a combination of analytical thinking and creativity. After deciding to pursue illustration, anatomy slowly became an important part of her work, and she discovered that fear and fascination often go hand in hand.
The aim of her art is clarity, and her process consists of getting lost in the scientific details of organic structures. She works for a variety of clients on projects relating to surgical procedures, patient information, medical innovations, and scientific articles. In 2018, she won a World Illustration Award for her representation of the microsurgery done on a rat.
