Sketches about prostate cancer. I suppose they’re considered [NSFW] because of the content (though it’s all very objective).

I should look into how gravity affects the shape of the bladder…

(Photoshop)

Excited for BMC gala tomorrow :)

Blood cells in fibrin versus lychee in a net.

You might think “wow what a weird combination” but I think they’re visually and  functionally similar to a certain extent!

Not sure how many of you have tried drawing a weave/net pattern, but it is actually very time consuming (getting the overlap correct)!!

Pencil, printed in Pair.

Vessels and a tree; I paired them because they’re both structures that branch. Vessels tend to look more fluid and elegant with their curves, while a tree looks monstrous in comparison because of its angular branching.

Drawn with pencil.

1 200 000 000, a comic I drew that’s inside my book PAIR! It’s a parody of 300 and the human fertilization process. From start to finish, it probably took less than 3 hours. Drawing organic backgrounds is a lot easier than drawing buildings in perspective. Drawn with brush pen and the tones were done in photoshop.

Inspired by Dr. Mike Wiley’s amazing anatomy lectures. He is such a great storyteller! I actually logged back into blackboard/portal just to find this particular lecture on fertilization again.

This was also my first time drawing a comic in a landscape orientation. The realization of how different it could feel from drawing portrait orientation comics was eye opening!

There is a lot of speculation as to who the intruder is. Please let me know your thoughts!
