Using Inkscape for Biological Illustration

Years ago, I posted a short guide to illustrating insect genitalia in Inkscape. Now in the shadow of my dissertation writing, I've managed somehow to write a more complete booklet version.



It's free, just like Inkscape! I take you through my line drawing process step by step, from importing sketches, to laying down and modifying lines, to making special structures like setae, to finishing and exporting. I also include some more experimental techniques which may be of interest to other sorts of Inkscape users. Enjoy!

    He added that all NIMH scientists were biological scientists and no biological scientist would approve a write-up that said biological change was the result and not the cause of the illness process! biobool

    How hard is stippling in Inkscape? I'm currently using GIMP.
