My protein painting adventure! Starting with a 3D model of an interesting protein, I noodle around with paper and paint to get a sense of the structure.

Here I get closer to how I'd want to draw the structure on the actual canvas. Look at those helices!

My actual canvas has different dimensions from my sketchbook, so before committing, I sketch my structure one final time on something closer to the canvas's ratio. Then it's onto the painting

The 3D model was obtained from the NIH 3D database (ERS1 dimerization and histidine phosphotransfer domain from Arabidopsis thaliana. Version 2.0, NIH 3D, 2026. https://doi.org/10.60705/3dpx/18118.2. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M114.587667) and was made 3D-printable through mesh adjustments using the OnlineStlRepair tool.
