Start Creating 
Cover Art Designs

Start making cover art illustration by yourself.

Finding an artist to create a cover art design can be difficult and expensive. With Blender you can create high quality cover art illustrations.

Make effective Table of Content Graphic (TOC)

TOC graphic for your research paper is very important. It is the first information someone see about your work when going through the journal.

Increase the visbility to your research with beautiful TOC graphic illustration.

Workshop Features


We will have five live sessions during the workshop where the instructor will share valuable informations about using blender for science visualization. Also, your questions will be answered during a Q/A live session.

You will be doing multiple scientific illustration projects during the workshop. Which will help you learn the process and gain confidence to explore further on your own.

You will receive feedback on your project submissions from the instructor during the live session.

Our WhatsApp group will remain active. You can share your work and get feedback from other participants in the future.

When you follow the tutorials, if you face any problems, you can post your question in our WhatsApp group. You will get immediate response from the instructor.

You will get access to many scientific 3D models without any additional costs. Which you can use for any purposes without attribution.

This was a really intresting workshop where I was able to learn the basics of Blender with fun live sessions and easy to do projects. The individual feedbacks were a lot helpful and I enjoyed working on the illustrations.

Dr. Aleena Thomas

I always wonder about the process of making beautiful scientific figures, TOC, and cover images. With the basic knowledge about the blender, I got the opportunity to attend the workshop conducted by Rafeeque. This workshop experience gave me additional confidence to make my own Angewandte Chemie cover image by myself. Thanks to Rafeeque for this wonderful experience.

I enjoyed joining Scidart Academy's workshop. As a beginner who has zero knowledge like me, Rafeeque has explained how to use Blender and does tutorials excellently. We got to do hands-on projects and got feedback from him too which I think was the most important part of this workshop to eventually create beautiful science 3D models! I recommend anyone who would love to learn science illustration to join!

This course has helped us to get started with the basics of 3D illustration using the freely available software "Blender". With the help of small projects we were taught how to design our own 3D illustrations. Suchitha from SciRio and Rafeeque were always there to help us with the technical problems that we were facing. Overall it has been a superb experience to be a part of this course and to observe and learn how each one approaches the same project differently.
I would suggest that whoever wants to get a feel of what 3D  illustration (scientific) looks like, should go for this course. 😊

Scidart workshop has been one of the best science illustration blender workshops I've ever come across!!! The trainer, Mr Rafeeque, is a wonderful and passionate illustrator professional, that provides step-by-step systematic teaching in all of his tutorials! The numerous techniques, wonderful key-pointers, fast replies to our queries and constructive advice provided during the creation of beautiful science illustration examples has truly benefitted a beginner like myself and further value-add in my professional development as a postgrad student writing manuscripts. Thank you so much, Mr Rafeeque!!! A truly unforgettable inspirational workshop! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😍

Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity, Sci Rio. It was indeed a knowledgeable session and much gratitude to Rafeeque for that.
For the last one year I have been focusing more on 2D illustrations, assuming that 3D on blender would be too much for a budding illustrator like me. But this workshop not only just guided me through the simplest ways but also helped me built confidence to work more on it. I am very happy to say that I could design my first cover just one week after the workshop  and I would love to recommend the session for my peers as well.

 It was an amazing experience attending the foster “Welcome to the World of 3D Illustrations using Blender” organized by SciRio. Ever since I started illustrating, I had restricted myself to creating 2d illustrations, thinking of blender to be a bit complicated software to understand. But, creating 3D illustrations by following the precise and easy-to-understand tutorials by Rafeeque sir has indeed given me the confidence to work with Blender. Really excited to explore the software and create more interesting scientific 3d illustrations and animations!

As an RF research scholar with little idea on "Blender", this workshop has tapped the potential benefits of good illustrations to my research articles. Incorporeal nature of electromagnetics could greatly utilize a powerful design tool like "Blender" to make lucid designs. My heartful thanks to Mr.Rafeeque Mavoor and 'SciRio' for this wonderful experience.

It was really wonderful Blender workshop and learned a lot about 3D scientific illustrations. Hands-on tutorials in a workshop helped me to boost my confidence in learning illustrations. I will really recommend this workshop to everyone who wants to learn scientific illustration for their research purpose or for making good schemes for presentations.  Thank you Rafeeque Sir for organizing such amazing workshops. Keep it up :)
