Abstract

In this paper, we propose a simple, fast, and accurate method to make scientific illustrations of animal and specimens. Photos and/or pencil drawings provided via microscope or stereo-microscope equipped with Camera Lucida are scanned. The scanned illustrations are then imported into CorelDraw and the detailed drawings are made using special pens and proper lines. The final illustrations produced with this method can be stored in all known formats and used in the scientific literatures. The digitizer panel, as an alternative option, may be used to schedule the initial drawing and also adding the details.
Key words: Animal illustrations, CorelDraw, Digital drawings.
