Forget spending hours scouring YouTube watching countless tutorials and say goodbye to the endless tools and "shiny stuff" Illustrator has to distract you.
Since starting Sciconic Science Media in 2013, I've collaborated on animations about stem cells, the flu, obesity, rockets, bacteria, pregnancy, metabolism and more.
