The second of a series of drawings about the human body and biochemistry.This one is about the transcription of the genetic information to proteins. Transcription happens in the Ribosomes which is shown in this drawing.
For all who want to know more about it: Wikipedia article and a schema of a ribosome
Ballpen on paper, 15x21cm, background colored with Copic markers

ps: I know that in transcription not DNA but m-RNA is used, but the double helix simply looks cooler

I'm studying Biochemistry at Uni, and I have to say this is the most beautiful art inspired by science I've seen, I'm very impressed with the level of detail and I love the creativity.

I love your use of ballpoint pen here! Your shading is the tops, not to mention your subject matter.

This is an exciting integration of modes of consciousness and awareness. You have begun to sow seeds in very fertile ground. It will be interesting to see how this grows. This image is great, and there is enormous potential for more here. Thank you for sharing this rare and different kind of vision.

I'm a total sucker for anything science-based, or anything surreal. Take away both from this piece, and it's still amazing; great job!
