Any Medical Illustrators Available If so I have a question concerning some tips? If you were in my position now, what would you be doing knowing you will eventually pursue medical illustration? ?

I'm a high school junior currently taking classes in the health sciences pathway at my school and I was wondering what skills and habits I should at the very least put into practice now since I would like to pursue medical illustration later in life. Maybe even possible classes I should take in the future. I'm already into art and draw pretty much daily (though I don't practice realism as much as I should). I also love learning about the human body and how it works, even in my spare time. After high school, I would probably pursue a bachelor's degree in some sort of health science. I unfortunately can't pursue an art degree because of financial burdens. But I digress, if anyone is willing to provide insight just know I really appreciate it!

How do I get started as an illustrator/graphic designer?

Hi! I'm a lifelong artist currently recovering from my engineering day job and the toll it's taken on my mental health. (Mechanical Engineering grad, 2-ish years into my career). I've finally gotten to a point where I'm ready to take the plunge and look for a more creative career. I'm totally lost on where to go from there, though. I would absolutely love to illustrate books but I don't think I'm ready to fully shift to freelance work. What other career options should I explore that are similar but a little more stable? (And ideally include healthcare, lol) What programs/certifications should I prioritize? What should I include in my portfolio? Thanks in advance :) please feel free to leave any other advice you have for me!

How do I become/get a job as an Illustrator?

I have always loved art and drawing growing up and my dream career is to become a graphic novelist/cartoonist. It would be cool to publish my own graphic novels or illustrate other's books but how do I do that? I also would like to know where character designers or concept artists work and what art software do I need to learn to create my art in those career fields?

How do I become an illustrator?

I am currently a high school student who is about to start a bachelor's in communications in the fall. I don't know if a communications degree is relevant to illustration and art, but I have always wondered about the possibilities of working in something creative like this. How could I become an illustrator one day, if I can?

Is it worth it getting an associates in illustration?

I am a high school student who is working on getting my bachelors in communications integrated with media management through dual enrollment. Since I will be graduating college two years early, I am trying to think about more schooling options. I love art and I think illustration will pair well with my major. I was thinking I could get my associates in illustration online after I get my bachelors so I can get a more artistic and creative job. Would this be a good option or should I look at something else?

I have just learned about the possible career path of veterinary medical illustration, and I'm very interested, but have some questions!

I'm a 12th grader looking to decide her major in college, and through Career Village I have been introduced to the idea of veterinary medical illustration. The only concern I have is that it may be too niche, and I won't be able to make a career out of it. What are the upsides to this? Is it too niche? Is it a smart decision to make as an animal lover, or will I get grossed out? #career-path #career #veterinarian #illustration #medicalillustration #veterinarymedicalillisustration
