The Capillary Network

in Human Alveoli

The alveolar capillary network is dense and complex; I was determined to show the way the network is incorporated into the septa between alveoli while providing the context of larger respiratory structures. In creating this piece I learned that visual problem-solving doesn’t always end up the way you initially expect. What I thought would be a view showing a few alveoli rendered in line turned out to be a broader view rendered with line and stippling.
