RNA // Somatic Cell Illustration Process

Continued watercolour cell illustrations for bio-engineering company, the wonderful Fluidigm. 
This time RNA, (DNA's single stranded-counterpart). I began with some initial concept
sketches, exploring various orientations:


The most linear shape was decided on to be the most instantly recognisable, also so that each end had the potential to link-up in order to create an extended version.

Then followed many colour "test-runs" - to experiment with colour-scheme concepts, and some additional extras to practice technique. Here are a just a few of the tests:



The final RNA strand is a vivid teal with chartreuse-green and fuchsia highlights. As with the previous linear DNA illustrations, there is also an extended, longer version.
