Live illustration to depict the wastewater treatment process
Graphic Recording, Illustration
Drawing a process: how does wastewater treatment work? I was honored to be invited to draw the process live while the engineers at TriCo Regional Sewer Utility in Zionsville, Indiana described it to me - which I found fascinating - there's actually a hundred little steps, that's the interesting part! Then the drawings were installed on the wall at the facility where they will be seen by school groups and other visitors.
