Anatomical Illustrations
COLLECTION
A collection of interactive and static visualizations that record and disseminate medical, anatomical, and related knowledge.
INTERACTIVE ANATOMICAL ILLUSTRATION
Anatomy of the Parotid Region and Infratemporal Fossa
An interactive slider of illustrations drawn from serial dissections of the parotid region and the infratemporal fossa. This visual aid was designed for students learning head and neck anatomy.
TOOLS
Procreate; Figma; HTML, CSS, JS
To create these illustrations, I needed to gain knowledge and 3D understanding of the anatomy. I performed serial dissection of the parotid region and infratemporal fossa under the supervision of Dr. Anne Agur (University of Toronto) and illustrated each layer of the face using photographs of my dissection. I painted with vibrant colours inspired by the work of Frank Netter.
The illustrations are displayed using an interactive opacity slider. This medium lets the client, an anatomy instructor, show relationships between structures by superimposing illustrations.

ANATOMICAL ILLUSTRATION
Arteries and Nerves of the Posterolateral Shoulder
Neurovascular structures in the posterior shoulder are complex and difficult to see during dissection. This graphic visualizes structures supplying the posterior muscles of the shoulder as well as their relationships to anterior structures.
