Hi everyone I'm new to the board, and am hoping for some help I've recently been looking into scientific drawing as a career move I know I would enjoy it, but I can't seem to find any illustration courses that could help me improve my sketches other than nmit's two year course and as I've just spent four years at university I don't really want to go into full time study again for awhile.
Any advice? Especially from anyone already in the field. |

Hi Brigitta, Are you talking about botanical art?
I have a friend who is an award winning botanical artist, but she basically taught herself.
I can email you her website if you are interested. |
