Artists don’t talk too much; they paint what they love
Well, greetings and salutations, I’m Myo! Welcome back to this page. Well, as a beginner anatomy artist who admires Frank Netter, MD so much, i tried to paint some of anatomical structures inspired by his art collection, Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy.
By the way, Myo has got the anatomy atlas!!!!

And since then, Myo can easily access the reference easier, it’s so much fun bro
Art setup!
Even, Myo made an infographic about Myo’s Favorite Artist, Frank Netter, MD. Posted on Instagram, but not publicly.

He was born in 1906, in New York City. He studied art at the Art Student’s League and the National Academy of Design before he received his MD degree in 1931
This user admires this artist!
Frank H. Netter entered medical school at New York University, then he received his MD degree. During his years as a student, the physicians and medical faculty were attracted to Dr. Netter’s notebook sketches, while he could augment his incomeby making medical illustrations on articles and textbooks.
Wasn’t he a legend? He was a revolutionary artist in medicine. He created the future doctors.
Who says STEM students can’t do arts too?
- He’s one of the best artists in med history ma The 13-b00k Netter collection of medical illustration includes most of his 20,000+ paintings reserved in the US Army during WW II
- He began a 45-year collab with cißA pharmaceutical company (now novartis).
- In 2000, Icon Learning systems acquired the Netter
- He’s not a mere doctor. His illustrations create the next doctors!
- In 2005, Elsevier Inc. purchased the Netter collection.
- The Atlas choice for students worldwide, recommended!
In 1933, he continued illustrating as a sideline after establishing a surgical practice. Then he ultimately decided to give up his practice to fully dedicate himself to art.
Okay, let’s chill.
So Myo really enjoyed it, really. Myo admires this underrated artist. He’s so niche yet legendary.
So this is Myo’s very first painting which the reference was in the physical book of Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy Myo has:

Myo started it with the simplest organ, the eye and the extraocular muscles. Well, Myo is still a beginner, so… well… We really hope that we can make the better ones, soon.
Okay, we’ve got more time.
If you’re interested to become a future doctor, but you’re also good at art, don’t you ever think about failing, make your brain’s left and right hemisphere handshake — working together, yeah NOT FIGHTING. As long as you have the passion to keep advancing.
Seeing people giving up their dreams be like:
“ah i’m good at art, that makes my science exam a nightmare”.
BRO… have you tried to embrace BOTH!? Being “creative” doesn’t mean you’re bad at science and math. It’s more about “personal preference”, I guess.
Well Myo is a beginner writer on Medium so we’re trying to be more precise and professional. We apologize if something we write bothers you. Let us know what you think.
Future doctors… they should be at the hospital all the time, because, they can do anything they want! As long as they help people live. As long as they help people from suffering. As long as they help everyone in need. As long as…
Do good. You can work at lab to create antidotes and medicines. You can work in medical schools as teachers/tutors. You can also… be a medical artist like the legendary medical artist i respect so much, Frank Netter, MD!
They help doctors handle harsh situations, especially in surgeries. His accurate illustrations… help them learn what inside human bodies are. He, indirectly, saves people’s lives by teaching the future doctors through his books. And about emotion he put on his artworks? Yes. It’s hope. Everyone’s hope to keep living better.
Don’t give up your hopes.
Spread kindness on everyone.
You can do everything you want, as long as you still stand with the truth.
Thank you so much for your attention. Myo’s really glad to see someone paying attention to this page, don’t forget to read more. Thanks in advance.
