👋 My name is Susie and I'm a Medical Illustrator and Animator based in Scotland. Outside of the day job my work tends to sneak over into science and nature illustration - I find it all interesting! Looking forward to connecting with folks over here on Bluesky. Feel free to say hi! #sciart
An image showing three bats in monotone color. In the foreground is a blue colored bat hanging by one wing from the top and calling out. There are two green colored bats in the background hanging upside down form the top. The bats each have a small white device on their heads that looks like a little hat. A central image of a golden head of corn with green leaves. A small image highlights 3 corn kernals, which have a dented top. On the right there is a diagram flowchart showing two different shaped types of corn. One is long and thin and one is short and stout. The flowchart leads down to a diagram version of the main head of corn, showing how it is a combination of the two. An anatomical cross-section of a fetal heart A diagram showing how to place a camera extension device onto a smartphone, shown in two steps.

#sketchbook Texture studies/experiments from a small getaway in the Highlands last year. These were started off by taking rubbings and then drawn onto to pull out details. Found it a v satisfying/soothing way to draw with some cool results! #art #sciart #drawing
4 Abstract textures in pencil on white paper, laid on a wood surface with a pencil next to it. The textures are spindly, looking a bit like roots or spooky vines. 5 rocks loosely drawn on white paper. The drawing is laid on a wooden desk.

Undated #sketchbook No. 2. Been spending quite a bit of time with a board of #tree references. This sketch was around the point I was starting to catch the twists I was looking for, but still wasn't quite capturing the mood I wanted. #sketch #pencil #sciart #naturesketch #art #illustration

An old experiment with a plant sketch in After Effects. This was a practice/proof of concept piece for a work project that turned out out to be really fun to play around with in and of itself! #sciart #illustration #2danimation #aftereffects #art #sketchbook

Ballpoint pen is one of my favourite media still and I use it a lot for sketching! Imaginatively titled 'Holly' was exhibited at Las Laguna Gallery back in 2023 as part of their Botanics show. It was my first time exhibiting a personal piece, which was a lovely experience #sciart #art #sketch
A photo of a framed black ballpoint pen drawing of a holly leaf on white peper. The drawing is shaded with cross-hatching and perpendicular sketch lines criss-cross the leaf.

Hello world, good to be here. Here's a #moth from a couple of years back, drawn in a titchy sketchbook I had no business trying to squeeze this big boi into.
#sciart #art #pendrawing
A small spiral-bound sketchbook drawing in black pen on white paper. The drawing is of a moth with horizontal lines behind it for the background. The moth's underwings are a golden yellow.
