Any Medical Illustrators Available If so I have a question concerning some tips? If you were in my position now, what would you be doing knowing you will eventually pursue medical illustration? ?
I'm a high school junior currently taking classes in the health sciences pathway at my school and I was wondering what skills and habits I should at the very least put into practice now since I would like to pursue medical illustration later in life. Maybe even possible classes I should take in the future. I'm already into art and draw pretty much daily (though I don't practice realism as much as I should). I also love learning about the human body and how it works, even in my spare time. After high school, I would probably pursue a bachelor's degree in some sort of health science. I unfortunately can't pursue an art degree because of financial burdens. But I digress, if anyone is willing to provide insight just know I really appreciate it!

How do I get started as an illustrator/graphic designer?
Hi! I'm a lifelong artist currently recovering from my engineering day job and the toll it's taken on my mental health. (Mechanical Engineering grad, 2-ish years into my career). I've finally gotten to a point where I'm ready to take the plunge and look for a more creative career. I'm totally lost on where to go from there, though. I would absolutely love to illustrate books but I don't think I'm ready to fully shift to freelance work. What other career options should I explore that are similar but a little more stable? (And ideally include healthcare, lol) What programs/certifications should I prioritize? What should I include in my portfolio? Thanks in advance :) please feel free to leave any other advice you have for me!
