Scientific illustrator Kelly Bullock suggests that illustrating neuroscience concepts in 3D could be more effective than in 2D. It is particularly striking to see the intricacy of the neuron and the complexity of its surrounding network by adding an extra visual dimension.
We can see how an extra vividness can also be achieved through the artistic software techniques Kelly Bullock has shared, that give these graphics a soft, ‘squishy’, organic feel.
