THORACIC VERTEBRAE
Anatomical Illustration
Description
This is an anatomical illustration with goals of depicting a non-conventional anatomical view of a structure in the human body. This piece specifically focused on a cut away of the posterolateral view of the thoracic vertebrae eight through eleven. The project was a challenge in depicting anatomically accurate structures, without being able to directly observe the subject.
