Perfect!!! I had the same error about the elements that cannot be used in a pattern brush, even after expand them. So I used the "merge" function in the heads and it worked. I created my pattern brush. Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was very helpful!!
Lovely :D the error could potentially come from the opacities within the gradient. If one the colors in the gradient has less than 100% opacity, then there could be an error when expanding the phosphate head.
dude... i have been looking for AI training for months and you taught me more than what people use to teach in webinar. Thank you. All the best for the channel... one more subscriber here!
Hi Jonathan, glad I can help! Which organ would you like to learn. Many researchers have requested advance medical illustration, so I am planning to develop these tutorials.
This was immensely helpful. I've used PPt in the past to make figures but now that I have illustrator, there is no going back. Thank you so much for this!
Hi Paul. It is my pleasure knowing the tutorial has helped you! Thank you for your feedback. Is there more you'd like to learn about Illustrator for graphical abstracts? I am developing a crash course for researchers during the COVID-19 lockdown.
@@DrawBioMed Thank you for the quick response and am absolutely loving the above brush technique. Would you be able to provide instruction on how to draw an epithelial membrane using this same brush technique? Been playing around with it myself by making individual epithelial cells but having trouble figuring out the best way to go about making an actual new brush. I work with the gut and trying to draw intestinal villi. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Hello!! Great video! I'm very interested in your master of scientific illustration. How important is blender? Is it more important to draw by hand or would we learn more inormatics design? I would be more interested in videos like this one, thank you!!
Hello Valero! My program Master of Scientific Illustration in Maastricht, Netherlands focuses more on drawing by hand and traditional techniques. They also teaches digital media and a lot of our thesis was done digitally. Than you for your kind feedback, I will upload the tutorials for graphic abstracts in the fallowing week. Stay tuned!
Hi, thank you, it is a very good tutorial and inspiring video. I started to use Adobe Illustrator for creating models. I did the same for the lipid bilayer creation, but at the end when I apply as a brush, space appear between each of the phospholipid molecules, but in your video there are no space between them, they look like totally adjacent to each other. Do you have an idea about my issue?
Hi Elek, thank you for reaching out to me! Most likely the tip of your lipid chain is out of the boundary of the phosphate head. An example for the fix is in the link below. Let me know if this solution works :) drive.google.com/file/d/1qTvJ2_Ac2K3HXspOCju_A-82kHYjLIBz/view?usp=sharing
hi,Doctor Jon ,thank you for your tutorial i want to know：why do we have to expand the gradient before pattern brush, I try find the answer,but failed.
Because pattern brush does not support any special effects in their unit. You can only use paths and objects in the unit. Gradient is a special effect so it is not compatible with pattern brush. PS. I am not a Doctor ;) just call me Jon is fine.
I am getting the same error when I try to apply the pattern brush ("The selected artwork contains an element that cannot be used in a pattern brush"), even though I have in fact expanded the lipid heads like you said. Furthermore, when I group the objects together, it seems that the lipid heads and tails don't indicate the blue boxes like in your figure at 6:50, does this play a role in my issue? Can you help me in any other way?
I have fixed it in a different way. However, I found that the gradient of the membrane did not show up in my exported file (I think it is because the color profile is set to RGB), how can I fix this?
I have googled the issue (often called gradient bends) and I cannot wrap my head around it. Have you had issues exporting a file (eg PNG or JPEG) that contained gradients, i.e. the gradients were not there or shown as bends?
@@BloodDiamonddd Hi, without screenshot I can only make assumptions. It could be that when you expend the phospholipid you chose to expand it to "mesh" instead of "steps". To really take a look at it I have to have the screenshot. You can send it to my email jon@sciencevisionary.com
Hi Nico, it is possible but I don’t have tutorials for CorelDraw… if you know how to make gradient in coreldraw then you should be able to make the same membrane.
Hi Keshav, Adobe Illustrator is not, but Inkscape is. I recommend you to check out my Inkscape tutorial for the same cell membranes ruclips.net/video/5pdWUB99k_0/видео.html
Hi Lim. Do you have transparent color in your gradient? Try changing it to a solid color. Let me know if it works. If not, you can email the Ai file to jon@sciencevisionary.com and I can have a look.
@@DrawBioMed Basics of making easy structures like immunoglobulin cells Dna Virus Bacteria Tissues Most importantly making enzyme with active site similarly from PDB structures in adobe Illustrator.. So that i can make pathways... . Like nature diagrams have. . You have made excellent lipid layer... But need to learn more.. And we have no source. . Biorender are kind of very expensive.. If some molecules could be learn from your videos.. It would be very helpful.
It's my first time to draw a graphical abstract and just made a cell membrane and some proteins! 🤩 it was very helpful! Thanks a million :)
Glad the tutorial has help you 🤩 If you have any question feel free to let me know.

Thank you Bineet for subscribing! Which webinar have you attended? I am quite curious. I'd like to see what they have taught.
@@DrawBioMed Thanks for the reply. A couple of them were from university senior professors. I am sure you won't be interested in listening those.
Bineet Sharma 😂hahahaha I see. Can you email me their names? For science research purposes 😉 jon@drawbiomed.com
This is an incredible tutorial, thank you so much! I've never made something so beautiful before :))
Glad to hear the video helped you :D
Wow! Brilliant . How to draw some of the organs would be massively helpful too. Thanks for this great video.
Hi Jonathan, glad I can help! Which organ would you like to learn. Many researchers have requested advance medical illustration, so I am planning to develop these tutorials.
Just made a similar plasma membrane following the steps! Thank you, looking forward to more videos!
Glad you enjoy it! More will come

thanks, man. you have made it so in detail.. helped a lot
My pleasure!
thanks...شكرا ❤
I was very much upset about how to draw TOC. your video is really helpful. Thank you so much.
My pleasure :) happy drawbiomed
Amazingggg!!
Glad to hear you like the video!
Great video! Thank you.
Glad the video helps your research :D

Very underrated channel.
Md M. Rahman thank you for the kind words :D I also hope the channel can help more scientists.
Great work !!! Halpped me a Lot !! Tks !!
My pleasure :D
Please please make more of these!!!!

Perfect! thank you very much...
Glad the tutorial has helped you!
I tried and just made it! I'd like to know how to draw those membrane proteins too! Thank you :-)
Sure! I will make a tutorial about it. It is super easy once you know how. Subscribe and stayed tuned ;)
Thanks!!! This is super helpful :-D

If you wanted to animate this lipid bilayer would you use Adobe Character Animator (Ch) or Adobe Animate An?
I would suggest After Effect

@@DrawBioMed ok thank you
Can you please tell which software is this?
This is Adobe Illustrator. You can watch this introduction video from 02:04 ruclips.net/video/jR6tM0H_qno/видео.html
Is this open-source software?
Hi Keshav, Adobe Illustrator is not, but Inkscape is. I recommend you to check out my Inkscape tutorial for the same cell membranes ruclips.net/video/5pdWUB99k_0/видео.html
why after expand, my gradient color change to no gradient?
Hi Lim. Do you have transparent color in your gradient? Try changing it to a solid color. Let me know if it works. If not, you can email the Ai file to jon@sciencevisionary.com and I can have a look.
@@DrawBioMed Yes. I chose gradient swatch. I have tried to use solid color then changed it to gradient. It works! Thank you!
@@Xiscolim Glad it worked out! Thank you for asking the question. I learned from you too.
Need more videos
I will make more soon. Which structures are you interested in? I can prioritized them.
@@DrawBioMed
Basics of making easy structures like immunoglobulin

Dna
Virus
Bacteria
Tissues
Most importantly making enzyme with active site similarly from PDB structures in adobe Illustrator..
So that i can make pathways...
.
Like nature diagrams have.
.
You have made excellent lipid layer... But need to learn more.. And we have no source.
