Illustrating Insides: Internal Anatomy For Comics
09/13/2025 | 3:30pm – 5:00pm | Glen Echo Room
Comic artists love getting their characters hurt, but accurately depicting an injury can be a daunting challenge. How do you find accurate information or useful visual references? In this workshop, we will guide you in interpreting various anatomical references as we illustrate the human heart together. We will teach you cardiac anatomy and transferable skills to researching and illustrating other medical subject matter. This is a chance to have your questions answered by medical and artistic professionals and receive real time advice and critique. The workshop is hosted by three cartoonists who also work in medicine: M.D. student Yue Peng (She Makes Hungry), medical illustrator C.S. García Martínez (Know Not a Man), and cardiac proceduralist Chloe Cunningham (Cargo).
Panelists: Yue Peng, C.S. Garcia, Chloe Cunningham
