Illustrations for a Freshwater Invertebrates Book
I created over 100 illustrations of freshwater invertebrates for The Bug Book, A Guide to the Identification of Common Aquatic Benthic Macroinvertebrate Families of California and Western North America. Each illustration was created by observing preserved specimens under a microscope, then creating a detailed drawing, then importing that into Adobe Illustrator and creating a digital version that could easily be scaled and placed within the family pages.
